I will be using NWA for a trip DTW-AMS in a couple of months. Any seat recommendations for World Business/First class? Upper or lower? Thanks.

Try to get a seat in the old first class section in the nose. The ceiling is high thoughout, so you could stand in front of your seat without hitting anything. The seats are in rows 1-4. Personally, I'd avoid row 4 B,J,E,F because the aisle is kind of narrow. Carts sometimes come close to hitting pax's elbows . . . or actually hit them. Usually, seats in the nose section are reserved for elite members.

Else, I'd recommend the upper deck (rows 72-80) for the small aircraft feel. There are nice cubbies below the windows.

I've never been a fan of the middle business class section (rows 9-12) as you don't have a high ceiling nor lockers.

Please give us a trip report. I travelled in WBC last January and will travel again this December. I'm curious about how much WBC has improved compared to what NW's press releases claim, i.e. pursuers, meals, digital audio, and "next-generation headsets".

P.S. You should have posted in the NW section of the board, as all of the NW fliers post there
