Hi everyone,

I have some a strange experience with trying to get an award ticket to Europe, can someone enlighten me?

When you ask for an award to ticket to Europe, do they only check CO flights, or do they check NW flights as well? It seems to me they check NW/KLM only when you ask them. Is that just poorly trained agents, or am i missing something?

Can someone explain which NW/KLM flights are eligible for OnePass awards? If you purchase a ticket for money, NW and KLM are the same thing for all intends and purposes. What about OnePass miles? Does it have to be a NW flight, cannot be a KLM codeshare? I called up and asked if I could get a reward ticket to Italy on NW/KLM, and the guy didn't quite get it i think. He said NW doesn't fly to Italy. I said, but KLM does, and all of their flights are codeshared, so i can fly to AMS on NW and then to Milan on KLM, right?? He said, so you want me to combine two flights? He then said there were no seats to AMS for the days I wanted... but i still don't understand the "combine two flights" thing. Should I simply try to give them NW flight numbers?

And one final thing... when they say no seats for 50K miles, only EasyPass... any tricks for getting the 50K award anyway?

Thanks!
