This was our first trip to the Orient - I got a pass from Northwest Airlines Sales - First Class cost us $120 plus $3 tax. The cost for Coach would have been $85 plus $3 tax. Who in their right mind wouldn't pay the additional $35-we are talking about 7 flight segments so $5 each to upgrade. Sure was a tough decision. We flew NW flight 7 JFK-SEA-HND (Tokyo Haneda as Narita had not been built yet) Then on to Taipei and Hong Kong. The return was HKG-HND-SEA. We spend couple of day in Seattle on the return, climbing Mr Rainer (by car). Then NW 4 SEA-JFK. All 747's!
