This is a closely held confidential yield management formula.
Worldperks makes it easier for the most frequent flyers to get standard availability because these pax spend the most with NWA and their satisfaction with award redemption (availability) is the most important.
Less frequent pax and occassional worldperk base members can still find std awards with the new award availability enhancements ay nwa.com.

I just tried for an experiment GRR-HNL going August 20, 2006 returning August 28, 2006. I am silver and it shows entire month as rulebuster or not available. How is this possible? Late August should have just opened up. Would a gold or plat try this and see if they get any availability?

flights out of DTW seem limited 8/06. THere are standard award flights PDX-HNL and SEA-HNL on the dates you mentioned, but no DTW-PDX/SEA, which seems strange. ANyone have any ideas why ex-DTW flights would be coming up zeros?
