I haven%26#39;t flown NWA since the early 90%26#39;s so I can%26#39;t help much there, but for entertainment and other seating/ ammenties info, go to:

You%26#39;ll need to know which aircraft is designated for your flight which should be in your itinerary.

Hi Tanya,
I%26#39;m not from the UK but from Canada, My wife and I drove from Toronto to Detroit last summer and flew out of Detroit with Northwest. The flight from Detroit to Vegas was GREAT!! we flew 1st class so I am sure that made a little difference. HOWEVER the flight home what a nightmare.
We were in Vegas for a week and it was early Wednesday morning, 3am and I get a call on my cell from Northwest telling me my scheduled flight from Vegas to Detroit was cancelled and there were no available flights on the day I was to leave, and I was responsible for finding and arranging my own flight. Well this woke me up out of my alcohol induced coma ; )
We ended up leaving a day later than we were supposed to with no help from Northwest. Ya I know another day in Vegas. I will NEVER fly Northwest again. This is only one experience out of a gazillion travellers but I thought it was worth sharing.
As far as seat back entertainment, NOPE! not even a movie at least not the plane we were on, may be different from a flight from the UK however.
Enjoy = )
i%26#39;ve booked flight now so going to keep fingers crossed and everything else that all goes ok lol
thanks for link DRVegas, have had a look and have seat back video on demand so thats cool.
42 days to go
soooo excited.
I can%26#39;t speak for NWA from UK, but we have used Northwest from Indianapolis a lot....no complaints, good service and on time.
Hi Tanya
I flew NWA last year from Gatwick to Detroit then on to Vegas and the flight was fine, no delays.
Yes we had seat back screen.
We did only get one meal and one drink all the way,
which didnt bother me as i dont like plane food anyway.
I am sure you will be fine.
Have a great trip.

I have flown Northwest thru Detroit to Paris and Amsterdam in the last few years. I was pleased with the in flight entertainment and overall experience.
You will also find Customs in Detroit very easy to navigate. You have to retreive your bags, just walk a short distance to clear Customs and Immigration, then return your bags in the same area.
Northwest has one long terminal in Detroit. You can either walk on moving walkways or take an overhead tram to your connecting gate area. It is very efficient.
Don%26#39;t expect food on your Detroit to Vegas flight. They may sell snacks like trail mix, but there won%26#39;t be a meal.
I am not sure of your experiences with American airlines, but my experience with Northwest is they are as good or better than most.
Hi
We flew with Northwest and had a good flight transatlantic going to the states (via Amsterdam) but on the return we had an old DC10, not nice. Overall though the food was OK and our luggage was there in arrivals even though we had two plane changes, so it%26#39;s not all bad.

thank you all very much feel much better now.
i have flown united and found them very good.

Hi Tanya,
We did this same flight with NWA last September and it was absolutely fine.
We really enjoyed the flight from London to Detroit was really nice, a much more modern, larger and nicer plane than the internal flight. We had seat back TVs and plenty of room.
The flight from Detroit to Las Vegas was OK, it was kind of like an easyjet flight in the UK, a smaller older plane and no meals but you could buy snacks and drinks. We were delayed but this was due to a storm and the flight was completely full so was a bit chaotic on board. But all in all it was fine.
Don%26#39;t worry about the connection either as other people have said it was all really smooth and you are directed where to go the whole way through.
You really don%26#39;t have anything to worry about!

I flew from Gatwick on the 31st March and flew back to Heathrow on the 10th April..(this was because the day they changed to Heathrow was the day i flew back).
Dont worry my flight experience was really good..
Gatwick to Detroit was very good..the plane we had had screens in the back of the seat in front of you on which you could pick your own movie or game to play or even track the flight..
The flight from Detroit to Las Vegas was like the other person said smaller plane, it did however seem like it had bigger seats...soft drinks were free..but no entertainment...
Also like the other person said you are directed through at Detroit...you do have to get your luggage off but then you are directed through and told where to put them back on..
When you get to Vegas you just go to the belt and get your luggage...and away you go..
Coming home was pretty much the same although your luggage goes straight through to Heathrow..
We had a delay of an hour on our connecting flight but still landed early...
Once at Heathrow within 25 mins of landingwe were in taxi home..
PLease dont worry and have a great time in Vegas
