Minor Errors in the NWA World
 

I know that I fly infrequently at best, but I pretty much stick with NWA, but I've noticed two small errors that take a lot of looking to notice in the NWA world:

1) In the last issue of WorldTraveler I read (March), the Alaska Airlines map in the back put Phoenix and Tucson in New Mexico

2) On the NWA web site, when you view your WorldPerks account history (not the mileage balance screen, but when you go to the account history screen), they mis-spell the word history in the page title... they spell it "Hsistory" Look up at the Page Bar on Netscape to see the misspelling.

Has anybody else noticed little minor errors that they find amusing?

The last time I checked (month or two ago), the WorldTraveler route map for partner airline Gulfstream Air (intra-Florida) included destinations they haven't served for over two years. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

The World Traveller Mag in November completely dropped New Orleans from the Map...(They must have anticipated a extremely strong hurricane season...)

I just noticed that on the Netscape Bar. It's also spelled incorrectly on my Internet Explorer 6.0 Bar.

Pretty funny!

About the maps. They are created by a European Firm for NW and KL. I guess they don't know where New Orleans, Tuscon and Phoenix really are!

Maybe they hired American high school kids to help them with their geography. Nah, probably not -- Canada was still in the right place.

Here's another good goof on the web site. I've notified them about this about a month ago, but no changes yet.... all the WP program info is from 2000. Plus they still have WP 2000 logos up in several places on the site. How bad does this look?

I wrote to the [email protected] about "Hsistory" and to the Mundocom.nl webmaster about placine Phoenix and Tucson in Arizona on the Alaska Airlines map in World Traveler magazine.

Hopefully they'll fix these little problems! A few years ago the Worldperk applications had the word "enrol" written on the front. It was something like, "How to enrol in Worldperks".
