After 9/11 service between MEM and DCA was dropped. Around the middle of November flights were loaded into the schedule for DCA-MEM service to start on December 17th. On Dec 3 I bought a ticket to travel from DCA to LAX leaving on Jan 2 and returning on Jan 14 with a connection in MEM. I just signed on to check some details connected with this flight and noticed my seat assignments had evaporated and that the itinerary link for this reservation was broken on the web page. I gave the Platinum Elite line a call and the agent checked with the scheduling people and found out that plans have slipped and the DCA-MEM flights are now scheduled to resume in mid-January.

So if you purchased tickets recently from DCA to anywhere with a MEM connection, you might want to give NW a call and see what is going on and start thinking about alternative arrangements from Dulles or another carrier.

Anyone else know more about this situation?
