I purchase my tickets at about 4AM ET via nwa.com. I received a ticket number before 7AM when I woke up to check if the fare was still there. Charge just hit the card today. I am guessing if NWA was not going to honor then they would have not sent the charge through to the card and used the fact that no money changed hands as reasoning to not honor this.

I'm going ahead with any Russian visas. NWA cannot back out now I already have other people booked on regular NW fares from other cities into my destination (SVO).
Back to work day and nothing heard from NW; Sounds like the green light to me. Someone would have called or emailed if it was a no go.
BTW e-tix issued within minutes of the original booking and cc charge posted today.

Do you think this was a fare mistake???
I was lucky enough to purcahse 1 ticket LAX-ZRH (7 days) on travelocity 227.95 all in.So I'm not crying or anything,and from all indications the fare is legit.Hope to get credit on DL,but not worried if I don't.But what do think NWA was trying to do,fill planes or was this a true Glitch? More than half of my iten. is on KLM.Doesn't NWA have to pay KLM for the seats?Or is KLM in desparate shape too as are 90% of US based carriers.

I see this as a great opportunity for NW/KL to get a new customer. I've never flown them before. If they honor the fare and get me and my mother to Munich and back, well, that's gonna probably sway at least some of my 35-50,000-BIS-mile business travel (OK, it's not *that* much, but it's more than most Average Joes) to Northwest.
On the other hand, if they make a stink about it... my record of not having flown them will go unbroken.

How are you finding these tickets. I did a search, actually many on travelocity and on NWA. I did the flex searches and looked for many of the tickets you all were and got but i couldnt find any of them.
Can anyone help me out, i am a little new to this.
Thanks

But stay with FT and look everyday at these forums and you will learn. It may not be the last time an airline does this, but probably not NWA.
You can still get a good deal on BA but if it is WP your after not much solice - sorry!

To any NW/HP flyers: I fly UA now. If I attach my dormant HP FF number, when the HP/US programs merge, will these KLM miles become * Alliance miles? Thanks.

But I wonder who will get them first...

Also, the HP Web site seems to be unclear on whether miles flown on KL metal under an NW code will earn any FlightFund miles. It doesn't explicitly state that codeshares are not eligible, but it doesn't say they are, either.
