... and they also eliminate off peak rewards, so miles needed for travel in the US goes up for 9.5 months in an year.

However, the airline warned, "limited inventory will be available during peak travel periods." http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

PG i guess NW follows whatever CO is doing.

Perhaps time for www.saveworldperks.com (http://www.saveworldperks.com) now?

What?!?! An airline is actually doing something good that its customers can appreciate? I must be dreaming... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

------------------
"What do you mean you didn't get miles for that?!"

well, we know as a fact they've just increased mile requirements for a free domestic by 25% over 9 months of the year.

call me cycnical, but you'll be lucky if NW allows more than 1 seat/plane available for award booking during former blackout periods.

this scale definately tips one direction.

KLM still has some hefty black out dates--like the 15th of December through the 15th of January. Your Northwest miles will still fall under these rules if you want to use them on KLM.
