Nevertheless, it is NW's fault that they included the "Fare includes fuel surcharge if applicable. " clause in every e-ticket that is issued on 012 stock, even for award ticket on MH. NW should have instructed the programmer the right rule so it would not contradict the abovementioned clause.

If NW gives me 5,000 miles everytime I got charged the fuel surcharge om MH, I would get hundred thousand s of miles added to my account by now.
The real problem is that NW would bother with a partner whose fees can't be dealt with up front at booking time. Malaysia should be given the boot.
