Summer Is In the Air at Northwest Airlines

Summertime and the living is easy. At least, it will be for Northwest Airlines customers who take advantage of the airline’s new summer fare sale that offers great deals for individuals and families to select destinations throughout the U.S. and Canada, and discounted fares to Asia.

Between now and June 30, 2000, travelers can catch big savings on adult fares and take advantage of great child fares for as low $49 each way based on roundtrip purchases for travel in North America. Travel can begin as early as June 27 and must be completed by September 6, 2000. A 30-day maximum stay applies to all destinations.

"Hire the kid next door to water the lawn and take in the mail, put your office clothes in mothballs for the duration," said Tom Bach, Northwest vice president – domestic revenue management. "Air fares like these are reason enough to take the whole summer off."

Sample fares (including fuel surcharges):
 

Travel is not permitted on Sunday to most destinations and fares to most destinations require a Saturday night stay.

Fares require a 14-day advance purchase and tickets must be purchased not later than June 30, 2000. Up to two child/companions ages 2-17 allowed per paying adult. Deepest discounts are available for travel from Tuesday through Wednesday to most destinations. Sale fares for travel on days other than those specified are slightly higher.

Tickets are nonrefundable. Seats are limited and may not be available. Fares are subject to change. Some travel may be on other airlines. Other restrictions may apply.

In addition to Northwest’s great deals for travel within North America, Northwest is also offering great deals on travel from the U.S. to Asia.

For example:
