Akron To London on Northwest Airlines
My wife and I had the pleasure of flying Northwest Airlines from CAK to London last week and the experience was out of this world coming and going. Let’s start at the beginning. The flight from Akron-Canton to Detroit World Gateway was right on time on a beautiful 50 passenger Northwest Airlink RJ. The connection to the Northwest flight to Gatwick was simple and smooth. The Northwest terminal in Detroit is beautiful with tons of choices for food selections. The flight to Gatwick was on a 3-year old A-330 that was magnificent! Everyone had their own TV with a great selection of unlimited movies. The food service was very good. They fed you twice on the trip and were constantly asking if you needed more to drink.
The best part of all was clearing customs upon our return to the States. The facility was beautiful and the customs agents were courteous and efficient. The entire process took about 15 minutes. This whole experience was great! Any future trips I take overseas I will make Northwest through DTW my first choice. I take my hat off to Northwest Airlines and the Detroit Airport (and of course CAK) for making our trip a thoroughly enjoyable one!
