Just booked a mega-bonus mileage trip on NW(details below) and now I'm thinking that with the amount of time I'm spending in NW airports, a couple of one-day WorldClub membership passes might not be a bad idea.

Any advice on how to grab a couple of these? Thanks!

P.S. Here's the run:


I maxed out the miles and promos in a big way (I hope!). By booking the PNS-ATL and the ATL-LAX legs separately, I saved a little bit of money and also qualified for two separate check-in/hub/booking bonuses, as well as going from 25% to 50% on the Turbo Miles bonus.

Part I:
PNS-MEM-ATL = 689 miles
ATL-MEM-PNS = 689 miles

Turbo Miles 25% bonus = 344
NWA First-Time Booking bonus = 2500
Hub usage bonus = 1000
Web check-in bonus = 2000
Subtotal = 7222

Part II:
ATL-MEM-DTW-MSP-LAX = 3015
LAX-DTW-MEM-ATL = 2935

Turbo Miles 50% bonus = 2976
NWA.com booking bonus = 1000
Hub usage bonus = 1000
Subtotal = 10926

Total mileage earned = 18,148
Cost = $134.50 + 336.71 = $471.21

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself, considering that NWA is offering free tickets now for 18,500 miles. Wish I had elite status on NWA to really max out the miles, but no biggie.

This will put my YTD status miles at about 12,000. Now I'm thinking about a run to get elite - I must be nuts! (especially since my 'base program' is AA).
