Northwest Airlines Hates Me
There are three different events occurring in Michigan this summer that I would/should have attended. Except that I needed the price of airfare on Northwest to be $200 or less so I could cover the ticket plus the $100 change fee with the credit I have.
In the two months of monitoring ticket prices since I obtained the credit plus about two months before that, an MSP-DTW round trip never dropped below $250. Until today, when the first event has already passed, the second event is tonight and the third is next weekend.
Fuckin' bastards. Out of the eight cities I have on my watchlist, Detroit is the closest and has been by far the most expensive. It's a scratchafrickin' hub-to-hub flight! There are something like 14 flights a day between Minneapolis and Detroit! Northwest, why must you gouge me and run all the other discount airlines out of town?! Fuckin' bastards.

Aw, piss. Can you find any cheapo last-minute fares? Then again, I don't suppose Detroit is the kind of place people decide to visit on the spur of the moment. :(
I am with you in your pain.
I had to fly from NYC to DTW this weekend and couldn't find a flight below $230, and even that was two 6am flights. Stupid NW. No way in hell I am paying over $200 for a 50 minute flight.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Then freakin Spirit had to go and be $250. TWO FIFTY to fly on freakin Spirit.
And, yet, I find a flight from here to Texas for $217.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Flights to Los Angeles have been $143.
I would have gone for the last minute fare, except that I have no cash on hand to spend, and the one place I normally go to for last minute fares won't let me use the credit to pay if I book a Northwest flight.
You ain't lyin' E. NWA (think about those letters) are a bunch of gangstas. They own the new DTW terminal. All you see are NWA employees and their presence. And they make sure you FEEL THEM no matter where you go.
