In the T&C, is restricts use to NW amd KL metal, just as has always been done in previous years.
Now I'm begining to wonder if these need to be used before NW metal changes to DL, which should be well before August, 2010.
I have some other minor certs ($25 off) that also specify NW metal, but have an expiration date over a year away.
Does the transition of NW to DL mean these certs will expire when NW metal is no longer bookable, which should be well before the published expiration date?
Thanks.
I am trying to burn 6 now. The reality is that nobody knows how the merger will impact these and the general feeling here is to use them as soon as possible. I doubt that DL would require particular metal as they are cross-fleeting already. My primary concern is that they change the fare bucket the upgrade comes out of (C) to a similar DL bucket that may not be as good a C. C is almost always available on every flight.
