KLM or NWA metal on miles
Can someone help me compute how much miles I would get for an AMS-HOU (World Business Class) flight?
On KLM, I used the miles finder and it showed that I would get (one way):
Level Miles 7516
Award Miles 12527
Would I be getting the same if I fly on NWA metal or is it more?
Thanks for your help!

WorldPerks One Way Mileage for
Amsterdam-Schiphol, Netherlands (AMS) To Houston-Hobby, TX (HOU)
Flight Mileage: 5,028 miles
World Business Class Bonus 2,514 miles
Platinum Elite Bonus 6,285 miles
Total 13,827 miles
The difference seems to be that NWA give you a 125 per cent Platinum bonus, and FB (KLM) only 100.

Number of miles depends on two factors:
1) Frequent Flyer Program: FB (KLM) or WorldPerks (NWA), as Jerene showed
2) Routing: If you fly direct, you can only fly KLM-metal. Using NWA-metal, you would have to fly via (e.g.) DTW.
You get more miles if you don't fly direct (short flights can earn more than the distance: 500 for national flights, 750 for international flights). You can also fly via CDG.
