NWA winter sale to Paris etc.

NWA has announced a fare sale for Paris, London and Frankfurt for travel commencing between November 1 and February 28.



Fares are as low as $219 each way plus taxes. You must be a NWA E-mail subscriber and have a NWA WorldPerks number to qualify for this fare.



Here is the link for the details: http://tinyurl.com/ot3sr



Good luck!

Hi Irish, Did NW send you an e-mail? I do subcribe but I did not get notification. Perhaps it does not apply to Los Angeles. I just booked our November trip with Delta and used my miles for hubby and me. I%26#39;d like to bring son and daughter-in law but so far I%26#39;m only seeing fares over $700.00 on all carriers. I just can%26#39;t do that. last year I was able to get farees of $540.00 on NW stopping in Detroit. I really like those Airbus planes.





Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. Were you very tired from the long flight and then the long train ride?

Hi Irish,



I do subscribe to NWA%26#39;s email newsletter and I have a WorldPerks number. When I went on the site and followed the directions, it said to enter the reference code in the reference code field, and your WorldPerks number in the e-cert field. Then it proceeded to tell me that one of these numbers was invalid! Did you try to book this and did you have a problem?



Thanks! Vicki

Hi suzanne -



Yes I got a notification from NW at 2 a.m. today. Managed to book a trip to London in December at about $125 below what I was looking at over the last few days. However, when I went to book a trip to Paris for February I got a message telling me that the E-Certificate was closed. I suspect that this was another of NW%26#39;s instant promotions like the one I found earlier this year which may well be related to NW %26#39;s having cash-flow problems. Anyway it loks like it is moot now though I think CA was covered in the offer at $269 plus taxes OW for the few hours it lasted.



I just had a quick look on mobissimo.com and I%26#39;m seeing RT fares around $600 from LAX to CDG for random dates in Nov. on UA and NW. What dates are you looking for?



The trip was splendid. As for being tired, travel doesn%26#39;t bother me much. (I guess I%26#39;ll know I%26#39;m getting old when it does...) Considering I had a 3.5 hour drive to DTW before the flight and a 2 hour drive from Avignon to Salernes after the train trip I should have been a wreck I suppose, but a good dinner and a good night%26#39;s sleep and I was fine the next day. I hadn%26#39;t though of it before but I just realized that the whole trip took about 25 hours door to door. In comparison the 18 hour rteturn trip from Paris was a walk in the park!



Good luck finding fares for the kids!





Vicki -



I think you have found what I did, that the special fares vanished almost as soon as they were posted even though the E-Cert said that bookings could be made up to October 3.



Better luck next time!

Hey Rover --





Try again -- there are three possibilities - one is that the sale is indeed over, two is that the sale seats are all sold out - but the third is that NWA%26#39;s stupid web site was overrun and couldn%26#39;t cope --

I figured it out with a little help for NWA. I found that specific %26quot;promo codes%26quot; are attached to specific WorldPerks numbers, and my number wasn%26#39;t paired with that specific promo code. But upon asking about it, they quickly emailed me back, said that they had added the promo code for me and I was then able to access it. This is going to save me about $230 per ticket!





THANKS ROVER!!!!!! I owe you. I%26#39;ll be in Paris from November 13 - 18; when will you be there?

Irish - Of course that long flight didn%26#39;t have the same affect on you that it would have had on most people. I%26#39;ve been telling you for quite a while that your sleeping habits aren%26#39;t normal. I guess you%26#39;re lucky in that respect.
