Why are Northwest Airlines tickets so cheap?

Question

I'm searching for a trip and the NWA tickets are about $186 while every other airline is running at about $278 upward. I've never flown NWA so I'm wondering, what's the difference?

I know I shouldn't be complaining about a ticket being too cheap, but that huge difference in the price, given the current economy we're in, is kind of sending up a red flag for me. Is NWA a good and safe airline?

Answer 1

because their peanuts suck! 10 points please

Answer 2

Bad Airline, old planes, pilots and crew are paid less.

Answer 3

I'm flown NWA before and they are perfectly fine! :) You just found a bargin is all.

Answer 4

I wish I were going home then, didnt they merge with some other airway.

NWA tickets are cheap probly cause you are flying from hub airports. They dont serve snacks and 3hr of less flights but do serve drinks. NWA has a really young fleet of single asle aircraft. They have a great safety record and NO you will not die if you fly them. You found and great deal and yes they are in the process of merging with Delta. I Fly NWA anytime i go to MI for the best price.
