I will be in SFO end of October and want to try out NW's DC-9 on a short
one day trip (non rev). Is there any suitable route for this? (low loads, frequent departures, flying time < 2 hrs)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

NW does not fly the DC-9 out of SFO (mainly 757's due to range and high amount of people), so you would have to fly SFO-MSP/DTW and connect to get on a DC-9 where there are numerous DC-9 routes.

I believe that NWA does not fly its DC-9's into SFO. SFO gets the A-330 to NRT, Airbus A-319/320 to DTW, MEM, and MSP, as well as a handful of 757's. SFO may also see a DC-10, but I have never seen the company's 9's at SFO except in the days of Republic and Hughes Airwest.

NWA briefly flew DC-9's on its single daily flight between LAX and LAS but it currently operated with an A-319 aircraft.

The first time I ever flew in my life was in 1982 on Northwest Orient from ORD to MSP on a DC-10, and then to SFO on a 727 (don't remember what series...was only 9 y.o.). I remember looking over a red bridge (any guesses? ) with an engine immediately behind me (I was in the back, it was noisy, and I remember the FA's hiding in the galley with the curtain closed).

Not sure what the post was for as he is going to be in SFO... it's an A320 now.
