Good points. Thanks for your input. I'll talk to my friend and tell him that he should just go ahead and redeem the miles. Are domestic Award Certificates the best deal or the SkyTeam Award Certificates to Europe, or what? I noticed that some NorthWest FF Award RT tickets are shown at 35,000 for 1st class seats. Is there any trading area on this site where someone with Northwest miles might trade me DL miles (or Certificates) for NWA miles (or certificates)? Sorry for being so green. I appreciate your input.
