Their automatice re-routing is not always the best thing.. unless you want to
collect miles and segments.
you have many other options:
examples:
AUS-IAH-AMS
AUS-EWR-AMS
AUS-ATL-AMS
Thanks for the tip. Will remember that the next time.
And for the record, the re-routing did not seem automatic. It took 15 minutes for them to find a NW flight to put me on. Unfortunately I had a 6 hr layover at JFK which made it much easier ...
