Northwest:

Best - Free booze in the WorldClub. Good domestic upgrade policy. Discounted online mileage redemptions. nwa.com is second only to delta.com.

Worst - terrible international upgrade policy. Only two fare classes upgradable to Europe, not much better to Asia. A horrible, horrible policy designed to create an artificial demand for WBC, similar to what DL and CO try to do with their premium products. No mileage credit for CyberSavers. No mileage, not free = No thanks!

I used to enjoy NW as my #2 carrier to DL. However, as a result of their international upgrade policy and the decision not to award mileage credit for CyberSavers has made me effectively drop them.
