Check In and
Luggage Requirements

|
Allow
for extra time at the airport. Domestic
travelers should arrive at the airport 75 minutes prior to departure.
International travelers should arrive 2 hours in advance.
Bring photo identification
with you. All passengers age 18 and older must carry government-issued photo identification at
all times and may be asked to show identification at check-in, security
checkpoints and during boarding.
In cooperation with
the Transportation Security Administration, gate
screening of passengers is being eliminated.
Passenger identification checks and screening that was formerly done at the
gates will now be done at the security checkpoint. As a result, a
boarding pass is now required to get through security checkpoints. An E-Ticket
receipt or itinerary is no longer adequate. This change has already been
implemented in Detroit and is being rolled out to all airports over the next few
months. To eliminate uncertainty during this transition period,
Northwest recommends that all passengers obtain a boarding pass prior to the
security checkpoint.
Northwest offers
several convenient check-in options for
obtaining your boarding pass. E-Ticket customers may
check in online from their home or office with nwa.com
Check-In up to 30 hours but not later than 90
minutes prior to flight departure or use an E-Service
Center located at most major airports in the U.S. Customers may
also check-in at the airport check-in counters or at one of our many curbside check-in
locations. Check in for your Northwest Airlines
flights from this website, www.ttravel.com.
Northwest Airlines'
Checked Luggage Policy has changed. For
travel within the United States, Canada, Mexico and the
Caribbean on or after December 15, 2002, checked luggage weighing over 50 pounds up
to 70 pounds will be assessed $25 USD / $39 CAD and luggage weighing
over 70 pounds up to 100 pounds will be assessed $50 USD / $77 CAD.
Luggage weighing over 100 pounds will not be accepted as checked luggage.
The free luggage quantity allowance policy remains the same, two pieces of
checked luggage each not exceeding 62 linear inches (length plus width
plus height) and one carry on that fits in the overhead bin or under the seat
in front of you. Please visit http://www.nwa.com/features/luggage.html
