Flight Allowance - NWA Electronic Credit Voucher (ECV)
Travel is permitted on any NW/KL designated flights. This includes flights operated by Northwest Airlink and/or NW/KL Affiliate Partners. Other carriers must be ticketed separately at applicable fare, and this ECV has no applicability thereto.

Northwest Airlines, KLM and travel agents may make reservations or issue tickets on NW 012 or KL 074 ticket stock against a paper TCV redeemed as Dollar Amount TCV. TCV may only be redeemed on nwa.com or by a Northwest reservations or ticketing location.

Reservations must be made per the applicable fare rule.

This ECV document is not transferable. An ECV may be used by a different person as long as the original recipient is traveling with that person in the same reservation. An ECV may only be used by one person in a Reservation.

ECV may only be used toward the total purchase price of air transportation, including taxes, fees, and surcharges imposed on the air transportation.

This ECV may not be combined with any other ECV/TCV(s). This ECV may be combined with a wholly unused ticket to purchase a new ticket provided the name on the ECV and the name on the wholly unused ticket are the same.

If the value of an ECV is greater than the transportation purchased, the remaining value will be stored in our electronic database and may be used for the purchase of a future ticket. If the value of a TCV is greater than the transportation purchased, a nonrefundable/nontransferable Miscellaneous Charges Order (MCO) valid for travel on any NW/KL designated flights will be issued for the difference between the ticket price and the value of the discount indicated on the TCV. MCO will be issued in the name of the person specified on the original TCV.

This ECV may be applied toward the NWA air portion of an air/land ECV/TCV package.

This ECV may not be honored when purchasing Prepaid Tickets, gift certificates or excess baggage charges, payments on account and/or ECV programs.

Complete details are on the NWA ECV.
