Let's see... prefer NW b'cos
1. from home, LGA is only 10mins vs 1:10h to EWR (I'm in Manhattan's UES)
2. reasonable coverage in Asia among US based carriers (still have to work on the KUL, SGN, HAN and DPS routes)
3. I'm 3/3 for op-up on NRT-HNL - great for mileage runs from Asia to USA
4. better chances of EUA vs CO's battlefield upgrades
5. poor schedules working in my favor (<18hr westcoast layover mini-vacations)
6. CO- and KL- codeshares for mileage runs thru IAH and AMS
7. WP program slightly better than OP or SkyMiles
