If you want to give me actual dates, I can check a bit more.
The NW flight also shows up as a CRJ, which would not be *my* first choice.

The flight in question is the DL flight 1180 at 5:10pm on Dec 21 vs. the NW flight 2936 at 5:35pm on Dec 21st. My son has a friend traveling on the 5:35pm flight and wanted to sit with him (her?) but I said "$45 cheaper, you fly Delta!". He was willing to put up with a jungle jet and a friend over a 737 alone...
