The "Whats up with CO.com..." Rant!
 

Short answer: It's DOWN.

Less than 30 hours prior to departure. Within my Upgrade window. ITN shows F3. No EUA yet. NW refuses to upgrade my wife (NW SIlver) as it is still not midnight in MSP, even though our flt. is out of LGA. If I could check-in now, chances are we'll both get our upgrades... but noooo... the website is down http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Thanks for listening http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

It's up for me -- but I can't actually book the itinerary I'm interested in because it seems to have an error when selecting the final flight. The web site help folks have a 15 minute wait for their pizza topping http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

------------------
Please be careful when opening the overhead bins as the coach custmers may have shifted in flight...

I used to get upgraded 3 days out close to 100% of the time but lately I've had to wait until I've gotten to the airport to get my upgrade. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I've even had a streak where I have to wait til minutes before the flight takes off. I think EAU is broke. BUT... I'm still sitting up front ever time this year. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

The co.com folks tell me I'm getting the 'unavailable' message because even though NW has lots of open el-cheapo seats the CO allotment might be sold out. Of course the CO web site still lists this as an available option (and has for some time) at the el-cheapo fare clase (NW K class). CO says that NW doesn't update very often and that they have had many complaints about this. ARGH!!!
