[QUOTE=COFreqFlyer;11834750]I don't see DPS coming back until TSA gives them a nod of approval on security measures. I think that's what shot that destination down in the first place. :(
Security of passengers in Bali exceeded anything that TSA does. Everybody's carry-on passed two x-ray machines and one hand search at the gate with everybody getting a hand wand treatment. Checked bags where hand searched at check-in. The connection in GUM was tight but I always made the connection. I also believe airport fees entered in the problem since I'm sure CO had to pay extra for all the extra hand searches and possibly for extra ground personnel to turn the plane very quickly. |

CO (newish) Y seat is way better than anything Northwelta has.

As an aside, since I don't like the CO Y seats, I travel with a Therm-a-Rest Camp Seat Self-Inflating Cushion in my carry-on. It's the best $30 investment I've made in years. I deflate it and roll it upon approach.

Yes the connection was tight. I remember them holding the HNL flight 30 minutes for us on one of the trips. |
I did enjoy the EUA percentage on NW. Last year I was 5/4 (yes, one was on an award ticket as a CO silver) SEA-DTW. 125% is hard to beat.
