How do you make that feature work? I checked on the NWA site and see seats available but when the same dates are entered for Delta it show no flights available. Any hints of what I'm doing wrong?

thanks
That is why I am afraid what will happen when nwa.com no longer exits. SlyPiles wants your miles and wants you to burn tens of thousands more miles than you otherwise should. So much for "last seat availability" even at the highest award level.
