After several flying adventures this week, imagine my delight when I found the following in my inbox:
Happy Holidays from Northwest
With the Holiday season upon us already, Northwest is pleased to extend our season’s greetings with this new, remarkable offer: From now until January 10, you don’t have to buy a ticket to enjoy the same benefits as our confirmed, ticketed passengers.
That’s right - Now you can enjoy not flying on the Northwest flight of your choice without even paying for it! This service is absolutely free - with hundreds of destinations to choose from, the only thing you will need to do is decide where not to go! Simply select the flight of your choice, and then rest assured that you will reach your destination just as quickly as our regular, ticketed passengers. Plus, you can do it from the comfort of your own home – no more hassle with check-in or airport security! But don’t keep this great offer to yourself: Northwest is happy to extend this offer to everyone this holiday season, so be sure to tell your family and friends!
Of course, for our loyal customers, we will continue to sell tickets for acutal money during the holiday season, which will guarantee you the same lack of service and indifference to your needs that you have come to expect from us here at Northwest.
And if you haven’t enrolled yet, our Frequent Flyer program has just gotten better – we now offer Frequent non-Flyer miles on selected flights. Now, when your plane doesn’t take off, we’ll give you more miles towards a future cancelled or delayed flight. One loyal customer writes, “with 1000 to 2500 miles for every delayed or cancelled flight, I rack up miles more quickly by not flying than by flying! I don’t fly very often, but I fly even less when I’m flying Northwest. I’m cashing in on a free ticket already – and maybe this one will be cancelled, too! Thanks, Northwest!”
Simply visit our website or call an agent for more details.
Oh, if only I’d known earlier!
