i would not wait on the peace at all....i would book today....they sell very fast as there are only 5 of them....i hope you will like it there...it is very nice really....massage only 200B by the pool by the way....
if the beach front is not available sea facing is a good alternative or any of the bungalows that are at the far end of the property---so if you have your back to the ocean, it would be the line of bungalows to the extreme right...

even the flight from seattle to narita is an airbus??

But if I make the reservation for Peace Resort now we cannot cancel it. I wonder if I could book through them directly and then cancel if necessary.
Yes the flight from Seattle to Narita is an airbus, same kind of plane as Narita to Bkk. Is that good or bad? Do you know if it has built in DVD players or possible hook-ups?

the airbusses are all new to the route...don't know if they are new planes or just repositioned....previously it was all 747's...

no idea about dvs's...call and ask them or look on the web site for plane configurations on nwa site...

yes once you book you have paid one nite....but you have the res....i tried to book directly with them and got a service of some sort...maybe that has changed...send them an e mail and askk...

Why not just call the airline directly and do it yourself? I've been traveling for 3 decades(since I was 17) and handle my own business. On a recent trip to Paris, I called the United 800 number direct and got a lower fare than was even quoted over the internet. If they quote you an airfare that is too high, hang up and call back. Airfares are constantly changing.I've gotten low fares to Southeast Asia by doing the same.Or try different internet sites,too. Happy Travels!

Northwest has almost completed replacing their ancient/geriatric DC-10s and 747-200s. The longer and higher density routes will be 747-400 (like Detroit and Minneapolis), while shorter and thinner ones like Seattle and SFO will be A330-200. They are not interim, but are bought specifically for that use.

They are better than the DC-10s and 747s, as all seats have advanced AVOD (audio/video on-demand); the 2-4-2 seating means less chance of a middle seat; and they are quieter.

Well, unless you like the upstairs cabin of the 747s; as there is of course no such thing on an A330.
