Does anyone know if KLM W shows up on expert flyer?
Thanks,

Just call the 800 number and ask for the partner award desk. The miles required are posted on the website. also, surprisingly, you can even use DL miles to upgrade on SQ. I have not used this feature but think its amazing since you can't even do it on the Skyteam airlines.
Also, if SQ is full, I am hearing good things about the new MH first, might want to try that.

I have the delta agent telling me I should buy the SQ ticket through DL to be able to upgrade from C to F....anyone have experience with buying SQ ticket elsewhere and upgrading using DL miles?

Wow. That first post if very through. I'm one of those great agents mentioned. But you may just have to be open to strange stops. I've had people lay over in EDI and MAN on more than one occasion.
I will do my best to answer any questions I can.

I was very surprised tonight. I finally got a moment to book FC tickets from PDX to TPA for my wife and her mom at the end of Jan. I figured, FL during the wingter would cost me dearly. I got the RT in Skysaver. So these award tix, really are out there.
BTW, I did the complete Itinerary online. I was very happy with the options of a day early or a day later. Not that I needed them. I got the exact dates, and layover times that suited their schedule.
90K, and both my wife, and Mom in law are very happy. Life can't get much better.

If you're of the opinion that miles should be used for tickets which you 'normally' would not justify paying cash for, then deals can certainly be had. I only use miles for first and international business, and have had little problem even around holiday periods. Economy has proven impossible. I just booked SFO-ATL-CUN-ATL-JFK-SFO in first class for 10 days before christmas through the 3rd of Jan. A week+ in both CUN and JFK - all for 60k per ticket. Can't complain really...

AM has added MEX/TIJ-NRT. So MEX/TIJ have now been added as another gateway to the pacific and potential routing for an award ticket. See this thread.

I have 25000 skymiles, I never fly anymore with delta or the skyteam so if anyone can use them then please tell me.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so mods feel free to remove or move it to the right one.

The relevant question is: What are "your" intentions with "your" miles?

This is probably the wrong thread to post this. People are not coming here looking for miles, but answers to how to use their miles. Start a new thread with your offer and you will likely get more traffic.

It appears the NWA Japan website may have changed, and you can now search for Aeroflot availability:

Well, the link works fine, but I can't seem to bend this new site to my will: it will find NW flights between NW city pairs (ex: ATL-MSP). I can't seem to get it to find anything on a DL only city pair, say ATL-FRA or ATL-SXM.
Help! I need to book a Saver trip in a month!
