Too soon... I know it has only been a few short years, but they were the last carrier in the U.S that was good.Anyone else feel the same about Continental or some other airline?
>>2023995I wasn't in love with continental but they were tolerable. I liked NWA and TWA. I only took Pan Am a couple of times long haul, I wasn't impressed with them vs. say, JAL, but I guess they were better than some third world airlines.
>>2023998>Northworst This is the first time I have heard somebody looking them, mind sharing your experiences? We always took Continental, United or Business Express (we might have took Kiwi once, but I just vaguely remember them growing up near EWR). He got a corporate discount for Continental and United, asking with a bunch of other international carriers (British Airways, Caledonian, Air New Zealand, Air India, SAS and Alitalia all come to mind, though we never flew on any of them). My father took Piedmont and Eastern before I was born, though.I guess missing Continental is more for the nostalgia for me, every few minutes, I saw one of their aircraft, now I can't. It feels strange to me.
>>2024000Their original area of expertise was flights to the orient (NWO) and those were noticeably better than the domestic or atlantic routes. I suppose if you were just going between memphis and detroit it wouldn't have seemed so great
>>2024002Fair enough, most of the flights we took were domestic or to the U.K so that makes sense why we avoided Northwest. I am guessing this was mostly done on DC-9s. I never had a chance to fly on one, but I always wanted to. I might go on a Delta flight on a 717 next year just to see what the passenger experience on this shirt of aircraft is like.
>>2024003You should try one leg in first class and another in coach by the engines in the back, it's a really interesting experience to see how different the cabin noise is
>>2024004Alright, I will, of I can afford it... It is a 45 minute flight from my local airport to ATL, so it should be rather cheap.
