Will I get the difference in award levels since I'm sitting in coach instead of first? Ie, will I get 30K miles back since a leg didn't clear.

Other pertinent:
GUM-HNL-SFO all in first confirmed (GUM-HNL in BF, HNL-SFO in FC on NW).

Please advise. If I'll get the mileage difference back I won't even bother trying to work something at the airport and take my coach seat.

Thanks, Climmy
