Which fare classes can I upgrade with my NW SWU's as a NW Plat?

Good points. And if Tempe is scaling down CLT in favor of PHL, which I don't understand given the weather and airspace challenges, that just means that upon the return of prosperity (currently scheduled for December of 2034) there will be a vacancy in CLT that will be exploited by someone.

He comes across as the web 2.0 SIBM. :rolleyes:

Great - the return of prosperity is scheduled for six+ years after I retire.

Y,B or M internationally.

Domestically, any thing but L-U-T on DL and L-T-K on NW.

Finally managed to score the IAH-AMS KL 744 on a J reward. If the Significant Otter gets the week of New Year's off (she's working Turkey Day and Christmas), then it looks like we'll get to do IAH-AMS-FCO (and back).

General disorganization and business prevented DSLR shopping, however.

Come up this way and I'll take you to B&H :p

Is there a better way to search for NW availability than just going to nwa.com and searching for WorldPerks rewards? Do I need an account to get better results?

Everything I've looked at for Europe has been 100k for business.

I use the 'tool' to find it which really is nothing more then doing searches on nwa.co.jp.

The 80k ended up being an error that they honored but I got the "you can't make any changes to this" speech. (I wasn't supposed to be able to ticket it with NW over water segs).

The true 80k reward requires KL on the over water segments.

If you have particular dates/routes you're looking for, i can search and send you the results.

The KL 80k rewards won't show up as 80k, IIRC.
