Just do a search on 767 and WBC. Previous posts say that the 767 aint all that good in WBC.
A quick check of the seat maps as well show that on a 767 there are 7 across in Y and 6 in C compared to an MD11 with 9 in Y and 6 or 7 in C.

What is the difference between WBC service on the MD 11 and the B 767 ?? I would say that there is not much difference, except some more TV and Radio channels and a seat about an inch wider.....??</font>


Are you speaking form presonal experience?

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
Beside that still the same service, which is certainly not crap service ..., or do you refer to the snow crab appetizer which is served these days in WBC...??</font>


OK, maybe bad coice of word for the description. Being from Central Scotland I tend to use the word crap to describe pretty much anyhing that I don't like or that I think is inferior.

Lets re-define it as inferior instead of crap.

I seriously doubt that they rebook a party of 7 these days, NW cancelled quite a number of their transatlantic flights and those passengers have to be rebooked on other flights, mainly AMS-NW Hub flights, so I guess all flights to MSP and DTW are booked very very solid !</font>


I was thinking about cancelling the upgrades and bearing the 2500 mile fee for this. FD terms & conditions say that this can be done up to 24 hours before departure.
Availability is showing in Y so this should not be a problem.
