NORTHWEST AIRLINES - Important Check-in Notice to Passengers
The Beijing Capital International Airport is experiencing severe congestion
in the international departure hall this summer.  During the morning hours,
it is taking on average 75 minutes for passengers to clear the outbound
immigration lines.  On Saturdays and Sundays, waits frequently exceed 90
minutes.  In order to make your departure experience as smooth and
stress-free as possible, Northwest Airlines advises the following important
guidelines:
· Northwest check-in counters open three hours prior to the scheduled
departure time.
· Passengers are advised to arrive at the check-in counters at least two
and a half hours prior to the departure time.  This will ensure that
check-in, and subsequently, immigration, security and boarding procedures
are carried out smoothly.
· Northwest check-in counters close 75 minutes prior to the departure time.
 We reserve the right to refuse check-in to passengers who arrive at the
check-in counter less than 75 minutes before departure.
· Passengers are required to show up at the boarding gate at least 15
minutes prior to   the departure time to avoid being denied boarding and
luggage offloaded.
We Understand that these guidelines can be perceived as harsh.  Our
intention is to ensure that all our customers have plenty of time to clear
outbound immigrations and security checks and to board the aircraft
on-time.   On-time departures ensure that you make your connections.  Late
departures result in missed connections.  These measures will remain in
place until September 15.  We very much appreciate your feedback,
understanding and cooperation.

Get paid! $$$$ DON'T WRITE OFF BAD DEBT! We have a proven track record with
collections throughout China. China Debt Collection Nationwide, Debt
Management China-wide, Dunning Letters, Litigation, will consider factoring
with the right debt. Flexible payment terms hourly or a percentage of the
collection. We get results.
