NWA planes don't have in flight entertainment. Some of the other things their planes lack, include:

Landing gear
Wings
Bathrooms
Flight Attendants
Functioning cockpit
pilots
etc...

Only downside about Logan is Air Canada's terminal is a dump.

The air Canada terminal is just one room with 3 or 4 gates. Interestingly, it has it's own security checkpoint.

most domestic NWA planes don't even have in flight audio...such a drag. I took them to Minny and didn't even get a bag of nuts or crackers - watch out, they charge for everything...

AA still flies a lot of MD-80's, nuff said.

the Delta flight you booked on is a brand new Airbus A319 - Delta took delivery of a bunch of them last year - personally, I like the comfort of flying on new planes - apparently, Delta has fit their new planes with WIFI service

That's awesome. If I could use WIFI on the plane that would be wonderful. You guys better be online to keep me company

Thanks for the input and help everyone, very helpful and informative.

I've always found NWA to be one of the better, cheaper, and more friendlier airlines when traveling the last couple of years. United would be one of the more expensive (including charging for each bag). In flight entertainment on each one is severely lacking, although I always use the flights to catch up on sleep and attempt to avoid jet lag.

Shame NWA no longer exists.

Hey don't diss the Mad dogs, they are sweet! Well at least on the outside, and not so much for the passenger inside!
