NorthWest has announced they will be reducing their flights by 6%. Has anyone heard what routes will be affected?

Not sure if you've seen this: http://www.nwa.com/corpinfo/newsc/2003/pr032120031105.html It announces 12% reduction affecting American, Asia/Pacific and European routes, although it doesn't offer more specifics. You can keep up with their news releases by going to: http://www.nwa.com/corpinfo/newsc/press.shtml

Thanks for this info. We always fly NWA since we're from MSP. Had our return flight from London cancelled but that was due to military use of the plane. I wasn't upset since it meant that we extended our time in London by two days but I can imagine that some with less flexible travel plans are pretty put out.

Here is what I've seen so far, effective through the end of April (but it could be extended): ATLANTIC NETWORK (does not include any changes KLM may have made) DTW-AMS – reduced to three daily frequencies (B744 stays) DTW-CDG – will not operate Thursday or Saturday DTW-FRA – will not operate Wednesday or Friday DTW-LGW – will not operate Sunday MSP-AMS – unchanged (but flights will continue to operate as DC-10) MSP-LGW – will not operate Monday or Tuesday BOS-AMS – will not operate Wednesday EWR-AMS – will not operate Tuesday or Saturday IAD-AMS – will not operate Monday or Friday SEA-AMS – will not operate Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday Hopefully it's going to be temporary...

Hi... Also from Minneapolis and always fly Northwest. Just had to change my return yesterday as our Worldperks tickets had us returning from the wrong city! The agent didn't say anything about cancelled flights. Sure hope they don't cancel any of our flights as we're on a cruise!! Crowsie
