I am not aware of any DC9's still in the fleet... I fly TWA two / three times per month and it appears to be all new / refurbished MD-80's and late model Boeing aircraft.

I think I saw a press release last year where all of the DC9 and L1011 aircraft were sold, but I may be mistaken.

By the way, TWA has a decent promotion where if you book four flights on the web, you'll pick up 15000 bonus miles (there's more information at www.twa.com). With the 5,000 Radisson miles, in four trips, you'll have a free ticket.

I have found things at TWA pretty good lately. Thankfully I did not travel at Christmas time, but other than that, it's been on time (early actually) and on the two occassions I did have delays, they were authentic weather ones (meaning everyone was delayed).

Of course, having said all that, bad things will start to happen to my flight schedules.
