Its 2:00am Do You Know Where NWA.com Is?
31/1/2010 – Its 2:00am Do You Know Where NWA.com Is?
At 1:56am this morning I clicked on NWA.com to take a final look at Northwest Airlines’ website, when I hit the reload button five minutes later at 2:01am the site was no longer there, redirecting me to Delta.com.
As Delta.com appeared on my screen all I could think of was this line from The Sound Of Music “So long…farewell…auf weidersehen goodbye…”
In a few weeks it seems the final traces of Northwest Airlines will be gone forever. The “Big Six” is now “Big Five” This is business, nothing anyone says or does can change the disappearance of a once great Legacy Carrier.
In the next year or two we’ll probably see the “Big Five” become the “Big Four” and once again I’ll find myself watching the death of a storied airline…although for me, I really said goodbye to Northwest Airlines back in May 2008 when I flew my last Trans-Atlantic flight with Northwest Airlines.
Below is a screen shot of NWA.com’s final moments…so…So long…farewell…auf weidersehen goodbye…
Happy Flying!
Steven, if you were trying to cause a case of depression, this one certainly did it. I failed to get a screen shot of the last minutes of NWA.com. I’ll miss it. IT was friendly and easy to get around. Delta should absolutely have turned their website over to the NWA folks, but….
Life goes on. Just not always real happily.
I had always flown NWA to Orlando for as long as I can remember. They were a great airline and they will truly be missed. My home airport is DTW so I would love driving past the airport to see all the red tails lined up. I will never fly Delta. I fly Spirit now to RSW. Farewell Northwest!
