Elena, thanks for the information.

As you mentioned, WP Asia version allows Gold members to access
Northwest World Club lounge and several partner airlines' lounges too.
WP US version doesn't. I guess Northwest wants to grab Asian FF due to severe competitions in Asia. They also have focused on transpacific routes
for a long time.

I have returned to Korea since March. I used to fly with CO (Domestic) or KE (International) when I was in the US. I have collected KE/NW miles with CO nepass since CO/NW joined Skyteam. Now I am in Korea, NW World Perks seems to be best for me. Much better than KE Morning Calm or CO Onepass. But I have collected most of my miles either KE or CO. I should have not opend my CO Onepass account for the first time and sticked to NW WP. Unfortunately I had no idea whether NW and CO had very close relationship at the time.
