I love the DC-10 as an aircraft and really will miss seeing this in NW colors and, after much thought with my WP miles and taking a trip back to Japan into consideration, I've decided to take this opportunity and join in on this. I just booked my seat a few minutes ago. Currently assigned to 18A. ^

What could be better than this? This final DC10 flight can be booked in Q or V as part of a MR. PM me for more.

I'd really like to be there, but I don't know if I want to be there enough to shove my big rear end into coach for that... At this point, I guess I would have to take coach one way and F one way, as I only have 66,000 miles.
There doesn't seem to be any perksaver availability on the return in F.
That's really where I'd like to be.
Decisions, decisions... Unless someone wants to pay for a F ticket for me.

That's really where I'd like to be.It'd be interesting if they offer DOD upgrades here, though my inclination would be that the F cabin will go out full at least a day prior to departure.

SchmutzigMSP did manage to snare a PerkSaver in coach a while back (unlikely we could have, since we needed two). The elite line will waitlist you for a standard "F" seat.

Really would like to be a part of this and meet some (more) fellow FTers!

By the way, January 7th is the last date for the busy travel season here in the Islands. You'll notice the fare goes substantially down after January 8th to mark the low January travel period...
