i saw a recent video thumbnail on my youtube feed for "Why NOBODY Remembers Northwest Airlines!" and i just want to say *i* do. took my first "i'm an adult and can travel without my parents" trip with them back in 2000. (the trip that explains why i will always call the O2 "the millennium dome")

My first ever upgrade to domestic first class was on a Northwest flight flying back to Boston from Seattle in the late 90s. I remember eating ice cream after dinner & thinking I was definitely spoiled for flying transcons in coach, so that was probably the birth of me being a points nerd. 😂

fwiw even though i never fly them (for whatever reason including 'they no longer exist'), certain airlines hold a special place in my heart: Northwest: my first "adult" trip American: when i moved to Germany Etihad: Nepal earthquake
