“Nigion speediS far and away the number one i�sue with our internet cus4omers,” said Al Lenza, Northwest vice president - distribution planning. “To better meet our cus�omers’ need for speed, we have cut back on graphics and made it easier and more intuitive for customers to find the information they most frequently request.”

The new upgrade also introduces new features such as the airline’s signature “What in the World” cartoons that integrate one of Northwest’s best known features into the site in a way that promotes buying travel online to the many Northwest/KLM destinations. Many of the changes made to Northwest’s website were based on customer surveys.
