A discussion about the airline industry, airline employees, and all things related

After all the candidates clear out of Iowa and head for the next primary in New Hampshire, the GOP has named Northwest Airlines as their official convention airline. 

The Republican National Convention in St. Paul will be held between September 1 and 4, 2008.  Convention guests will be offered discounted airfares, but it is unknown as to how much the discount will be. 

Northwest which is based out of the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area said it is not uncommon for large companies to offer discounts to convention groups in their hometowns.
