Northwest To Charge For "Premium" Seats

Northwest Airlines, just days after purchasing an operating certificate to perhaps launch a subsidiary airline, has announced that it will begin charging passengers who want to sit in "premium" coach seats.

The company said that it would charge passengers an additional $15 to sit in exit rows or other seats that traditionally have more leg room. Northwest did say that passengers in its most elite frequent flier statuses would continue to have the opportunity to upgrade their seat at no additional charge.
