Northwest/Delta Flight 68 Route to Amsterdam Schiphol Int'l Airport

This was the second leg of a three stage flight. The flight time was 7hr 40mn to a transatlantic flight to Amsterdam.

The aircraft was a Boeing 747-400 and it was in the silver Northwest colors. My only complaint with this was there was no PTV (personal televisions) so we had to watch the sucky programing that "Delta" had. But all in all we had a good arrival to Amsterdams Schiphol Airport.

We departed at around 5 p.m. in Detroit and got into Amsterdam at around 6 a.m. in the morning. The food was terrible (as they mostly are on any American Airline).
But to say that flight attendants were decent on the flight and they seemed to have a good attitude.

The highlight of the flight was when we arrived in Amsterdam i asked one of the flight attendants politley to see if i could catch a peak of the cockpit. And sure enough they let me through!

In the end, if i was to rate this flight, it would be a 7 out of 10

1. Haha he's right.

2. They started painting and replacing interior and paint back in 2008/2009, so the chances are you were on one of the few which were updated.

3. He's saying when you said the 747 has a long take-off ROLE (faulty English), he corrected it by saying it's spelled roll.

Lived in Detroit for a while after living in Amsterdam, so I flew the same route to visit family.

I like the airy ambience of DTW Airport. Its kind of an "American version" of CPH Airport which is also light and airy but with an even lighter Scandinavian feel and very relaxing as airports go.

I was on this flt a few yrs ago LAX-DTW-AMS-CPH. It WAS NWA but a 757(?!). Im not sure if it was scheduled but it was definitely rows of 3 and 3. Needles to say it was cramped- and full. I had the worst summer cold so it was a miserable experience! Luckily I had a window st and besides me was a kid abt 13 yrs old whos parents were seated several rows back. I told the F/A but she didnt react. I dont know if she just didnt get it or what. I didnt pursue it tho. Was too exhausted.
