I am sitting here at the LAX PC....
watching the planes take off before my flight. Its amazing how the MD-11's literally are twice as noisy as any other plane. I don't think I have ever flown an MD-11, does anyone know what the noise in the cabin is like?

I don't realize how this is a thread for the CO board? 
Hope you have a nice flight.

Speaking of which, for those who have been to both the CO PC and the NW WC, which one is better? I've always wondered...

Both the CO and NW LAX lounges have restrooms, but neither have showers.
The attendents at both are very nice and helpful. I also find the counter and gate agents for both CO and NW at LAX to be exceptional nice as well - much better than some other airports I could mention.

I am back in NYC, flight was 100% full but I had emergency exit aisle so I was comfortable. Not one Platinum was upgraded.
And I started this thread bored to tears watching planes take off at LAX. Sorry if it was off topic

So they sold all the FC seats? I can't recall hearing of a flight that *no* Plats go upgraded on.

To answer the OP's question: in the past I frequently flew the MD11 on KL's SFO AMS route. I didn't find it loud at all, especially in comparison to the 777. IMO, 777 is much, much louder, particularly on takeoff.

I love the LAX Presidents Club. Even when my US Airways Club membership got me into the Red Carpet Clubs without any extortionate fee, I would still use the PC.
