We've been over this. UA has more seats across the water, period. UA also has a lesser C product than NW. Unfortunately you can't have the best of programs. Take the good and the bad from each program.

you always say this. Its hypocryticle. UAs C class is just as good as FC in the dc-10s that you RAVE about.

You also always leave out the fact that UA has another cabin in front of C thats equal or better than NWs wbc
Unfortunately NW does not have a 3-cabin system or nearly as many seats as UA. But NW competes very well, if not better when put head-to-head with the same C cabin on another airline. |

Words in my mouth. When do I RAVE about FC in the DC-10s? I've only been in them twice!

Here we go again... Schmutzig vs rwill, Round N. :D :D
Seriously, you could book award tickets. UA's F to Asia costs same as NW's WBC: 120,000 miles. |

That also costs 4x the amount of NWA's J cabin.
NW BOS-NRT in J $8,000 UA BOS-NRT in F $13,000 |

I also saw NW is selling Z fares BOS-MSP-PDX-NRT for $5,300.

Looks like NW wins this one.........
UA is selling a worse product at a higher price. :confused: In fact, thezipper and I both noticed that UA's C costs more than NW's WBC on the China routes. A sign of NW's losing premium pax, perhaps. |

check your math. A Z fare would be more of a real number. then subtract the low fare from Z. then subtract the cost of 85k past Plat to hit 160k. Im telling ya. buying a Z fare is cheaper than flying an extra 85k to get some swu's. You only need 100k for top tier status on UA or AA and you get 6 or 8 swu's EDIT For example I just looked at DTW_AMS 1oct-8oct
Z fare was 2631 lowest fare was 1033, so 2 swu's are worth $800 bucks each on that flight. When you add in how much it costs to get to the point of getting 2 swu's they are basically not cost affective. Lowest coach fare on NW, DTW-DEL for a date I'm traveling this summer- 1773.20 Z fare- not available C fare- 7180 money saved- 5406 DTW-NRT flight I have booked lowest coach fare (direct flight) - 1260 Lowest Z fare- not available lowest C fare- 8950 money saved- $7700 total money I would have saved- $13000 I did my math correctly. |
