SUBJECT TO TERMS:
* GOOD FOR ONE FREE COACH ROUNDTRIOP TICKET IN W CLASS / ***SEATS ARE LIMITED***
* TRAVEL PERMITTED WITHIN THE 48 CONTIGOUS US/ALASKSA OR BETWEEN 48 YS/ALASKA AND CANADA
* VALID ON NW/KL DESIGNATED FLIGHTS OPERATED BY NW/KL/XJ/9E/CP/CO/CO EXPRESS
more on the back talk about if W is not available, class A & D can work...stil coach class, tho.
i got one of these before, when i was ed in memphis last time, and i was able to go from gulfport, ms to des moines, ia for totally free. had to kind of squirm around the dates/weekends/flights (i.e. the 630am flight only), but still worth it.
basically looking for a weekend trip, with major flexibility |

W class is highly restrictive aka if you decide to pick it, you better keep it.
Do you know what your black out dates are?
Anyway... W, A and D class fares are usually the first ones to be sold, so you will have to book this well in advance to make sure you even get it... that is unless NWA decides to force the fare for you (not likely.)
If I were you, I would save it for a week to take a trip down to Hawaii or something in the dead of winter. |

yeah, last time wheni used one, the only flight times available were the early morning flight.
but i can book up to 12 months in advance. so i don't have to use it right now....and it has to be after jan 1 for the schedule anyways.
oh, and hawaii is not allowed (48 conus+canadad/alaska). |

Oops.. missed that.
Could always go to Florida for March break or something.
Anyway, you still want to book as soon as you can as it will always be subject to availability, and I can assure you that with W, A and D classes, you will have a bitch of a time finding anything within a month of the flight.
If you have a round trip paid for, you may as well capitalize on it and take a week vacation, instead of just a weekend. |

well, scheduling leave is kind of a limit factor. i'd like to take longer...but who knows.
but yeah, i know, from last time at least, that scheduling at least 1+ month advance helped. |
