Ams-iah On 737
Has anyone flown the 737 Private Air operated
KL/NW codeshare on this route? How are the
seats? Is it a KL inflight crew? Same lousy
service? Appreciate your insight.

You may get more info on the KL forum, since technically that's a KL flight (operated by PrivatAir, KL crew).

That is an excellent idea. However, if there are any
NW FTs that have taken this flight please share your
experience here.

I am flying the Privatair IAH-AMS in April. It will be interesting. (Return flight on the NW AMS-MEM.)

Somebody rang? 
I did fly this flight last summer. I recommend it, if for no other reason than the novelty of flying with only 47 other PAX. It was a cool experience, and I would definitely do it again. Here is my trip report, complete with pics. let me know if you have any specific questions after reading the report.

Hadn't seen you hanging out with us much so I took the liberty. Glad to see you didn't jump ship for 1world or *A.

Do NW WP members still not earn EQM/EQS on PrivatAir flights? (e.g. the KL AMS-IAH flight).

Blank Sheet - No fears about me crossing over to the darkside (*A or OW), I'm still a ST guy through and through. Even more so, now that I'm in the process of moving to the Skyteam-mecca known as DTW...

Everytime I see this thread title I think it's going to be about Amish people on a 737.

I'm all for the idea of trying something new, and it sure sounds like a fun ride. Yet the idea of flying 1075 miles south to fly 5012 miles north-east, when I can just fly 3940 miles east, is at some level confusing.
Back to the "hey, sounds like fun" argument... can this be redeemed at the PerkSaver WBC level?

Portions of the post that previously appeared in this space have been deleted. I would provide you with a reason why, but doing so would likely be against the TOS.
