Why would you want to? What if there is a great fare on DL, CO, or another partner of NW? Look at the Alitalia fare mistake. Besides, many great fares are on airline A but are matched by airlines B, C, and D even if no one posts that here. That is how I have found a handful of great fares/MRs. channa Nov 13, 06, 12:17 pm What is BA could get you to Europe for $20? Or Air Pacific could get you to Fiji for $51. At some price, you forget the alliances and just fly. ;) jpdx Nov 13, 06, 12:18 pm Why would you want to? Upgrades? kalamazoo Nov 13, 06, 12:38 pm Why would you want to?

I need segments, not miles. DL does not reciprocate with NW and many CO flights don't qualify. 925 Nov 13, 06, 12:42 pm There is no way to automatically filter FT for only NW mileage runs. You get a bit of help because there should be a NW in most of the thread titles that give you an indicator. But if there was a real good mileage run on DL or CO that you could credit to NW, wouldn't you want to know that too? DTW-HomeyFour Nov 13, 06, 4:17 pm Thanks for the note.

(http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/earn/air_partner.shtml#continental) NW and DL do reciprocate EQMs, but not EQS. That is a well-documented, well known disparity.

Yes, but if flying on a cheap fare (i.e., a mileage run) they only earn HALF the EQ's of the mileage flown--and NO elite qualifying segments. kalamazoo Nov 15, 06, 6:21 pm All CO flights earn EQS for WorldPerks members.

(http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/earn/air_partner.shtml#delta) According to the NW site they state: Continental Airlines flights in Q, I, S, W, T, X or L class and Delta Air Lines operated flights are excluded from SEGMENT credit. So CO does not give segments for every fare. Anything by NW, Mesba or Pinnacle does work. kalamazoo Nov 15, 06, 6:22 pm >>>> All CO flights earn EQS for WorldPerks members.

Also worth noting is flying on CO ticket but on "CO Partners" doesn't get wp miles....I had to redo a MR that had Virgin flights. But to the point of this thread, I also would at least keep an eye on NW Partners. |
