I will thank NW for not doing the 50% EQM's on their cheap fares. That is good.


What is bad was the insane jump to 200k for a FC award to Oz. That was insanity. A 43% increase in the amount of miles needed is just over the top. I had planned to put a trip together next year, but it will take a fair bit longer to get the family's tickets.

This increase is just beyond reasonable when the only other people in the industry to do something as bad (actually worse) is BA. This one just did not pass the "choke/gag" test. It is too difficult to swallow.
