Northwest announced recently that as of October 16, travelers
can now obtain their own boarding passes, and change seat
assignments from the NWA
web site. Following are the highlights and a couple advisories
passed on by travelers regarding online boarding pass service.
- Check-in via NWA.com
for a flight up to 24 hours in advance, but not less than
90 minutes prior to departure. The nwa.com check-in process
is available for e-ticket reservations from Minneapolis/St.
Paul to any non-stop destination in the United States.
- A boarding pass is issued off your printer.
- Upgrades are possible online, if the fare and space
are available.
- Luggage can be checked curbside with a skycap. If traveling
with carry-on , customers may go directly to the gate
for boarding.
NOTE: The advisories listed below are from travelers who have
given Northwestern Travel Management
agents a couple of "heads-ups" regarding this service.
- When travelers print their boarding pass, reservation
is closed to any further changes by NTM
or anyone; unless you have a full coach, fully changeable
and refundable ticket. Some travelers prefer to check
in at the gate, to assure they have the ability to change
plans or flights as late as possible.
- Getting the boarding pass anywhere but at the airport
increases the risk of losing it. This was one of the original
benefits of e-tickets: no lost papers to worry about.
A lost boarding pass will require travelers to re-check
in at gate anyway.
