NWA SUCKS....

Like to just pop in from my blogging "break" to say the Northwest Airlines SUCKS....

Remember the days when you were able to get "FREE" tickets by using your miles?

Past few years when we were able to get a "Free" ticket... we had to pay some where around $150 for taxes & processing... OK, I was cool with that...cause it was still a cheap ticket...

- so I am all ready to book my ticket with my 51,000 miles I have saved... only to find out that now the international ticket will cost me 60,000 miles... shit..... but a girl has to do what a girl has to do to get home for her 20Th reunion RIGHT?

So I just paid $300 to transfer to the miles between our accounts... go online to book the ticket... when I get to the end my "free" ticket is costing me an additional $300 are you BLEEPING kidding me?

before I hit the pay button thought I would check to see how much it would cost to just buy a ticket... approx $750 (150 more & a WAY better connection... plus no MILES....)

I am pissed at myself & even more with NWA... Just thought I would throw it out there...
After over 15 years of being LOYAL NWA travelers... this is the final straw...

I hate being screwed... & I really feel that I have been now... SO now I am debating... do I use the miles... or pay a little more.. (cause chances are we won't be able to use the miles when we want to next time anyway...)

Hope y'all are having a FAB summer... ours is JUST getting started... & talk about a SCANDINAVIAN HEAT WAVE... we are dying up/over here... you would never guess I grew up in TEXAS with the way I am HATING this heat... but AC over here is VERY RARE ...

So gearing up for the big "tipi-tastic" trip... going to flip things around a bit because of work...but we will get it all worked out... keep y'all posted... sorry I have been MIA...
