Back to scheduling, NW 343/215 all run 757 but then I need to wait at DTW for an extra 2 and 4 hours before catching NW 25 to NRT. NW 385 is again a 757 but I won't be able to arrive in DTW in time to connect NW 25.
I could try NW 385+NW 11 to NRT since NW 11 departs one hour later than NW 25. Then I lose big in EQMs because my eventual destination is PEK and NW 11 is considered a "direct" DTW-PEK flight.
Miles for DTW-PEK: 6,631
Miles for DTW-NRT-PEK: 7,727
I would lose more than 1,000 EQMs!! These qualifying miles are precious to make Gold/Plat next year
Good news is that it shows
May 27
NW 25 DTW-NRT J2 C0 Z0 Y1 B0 M0 H0 Q0 V0 L0 T0 K0
NW 11 NRT-PEK J4 C0 Z0 Y7 B0 M0 H0 Q0 V0 L0 T0 K0
I hope to get bumped or Op-Up.

It shows P2 F1 after EUA while it was P4 F3 few hours before that so I figure that there are 2 Plats on this flight for now.
Meanwhile, it shows May 27
NW 25 DTW-NRT J3 C0 Z0 Y0 B0 M0 H0 Q0 V0 L0 T0 K0
NW 11 NRT-PEK J4 C1 Z0 Y5 B0 M0 H0 Q0 V0 L0 T0 K0
Would anything good happen?
