If the example is highly flawed, then the example is useless.
My point was that a coach domestic award is a quarter of a trans-atlantic WBC award but rarely will the fare be a quarter. I simply used an example that recently came up during some travelling.
That's right, the fare will rarely be a quarter. The fare difference between a "domestic" fare and a trans-atlantic WBC fare can be large or small (or even negative as some 'domestic' fares can be higher than some WBC fares).
So then, "NW basicaly wants more miles for a more expensive product" is just not true, is it?
