National Airlines
 

I don't see a forum for National Airlines. I've not flown with them before but am considering an April 'round-trip between SFO and MIA. Any input, tips would be appreciated.

Their first class looks affordable although meal service seems skimpy. Is there beverage service in First? How about coach?

National is a good airline. Many people avoided them due to the threat of them going under. Now that they have secured credit, they should be a safe airline to fly on.

And you can earn VS miles too! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I tried out National Airlines earlier this year. Their entire fleet of 757's seem to be old United planes. The are ageing and you can tell a total difference between national and united.

If the price is an extreme difference, I would CONSIDER national, but if the price is even close, go with united, or a big 3 carrier.

Thanks, all.

Virgin miles definitely a plus.

United has dreadful service between SFO and MIA. Otherwise, it's my usual carrier for the U.S. (Alaska for Mexico and Virgin for UK). However, I note National has very attractive, even affordable, first-class rates and that interests me, especially considering the recent difficulties in getting confirmed UA upgrades at time-of-booking. With fewer flights, there's less availability. A round-trip $900 first-class rate SFO-MIA looks pretty good to me.
