Antique aircraft listed :-)
At the bottom of this page, http://www.nwa.com/services/bustrav/wbc/#fleet it shows some antique aircraft that belong in a museum:

I think there are some 'bugs' depending what type of brower are use such as Netscape, Safari, Firefox, Opera, MS/IE and others. The same goes with what operating system anyone is using such as Windows or Mac.
Because I have had (small) problems with NWA.com when using AOL.com, and the same with Earthlink when using either a Windows or a MAc.
I think it will be good to mention when reporting the bug what web-brower and operating system is being use. It might be helpful for the NW IT staff.

All,
I have just returned from 6 weeks on the road (blah blah blah - haven't many of us).
I have updated the master thread with all of the issues posted for the month of May.
nwa scoop - I am more than happy to meet with someone at NW to go over these issues if that's necessary. Also, if you wouldn't mind letting me or the forum know when bugs from the master thread have been addressed, that would be great. This way the user community can test them and I can mark them as fixed on the master thread.
To everyone else - please continue to post your bugs/issues/wishlist!!!
Thanks,
RM

It's simple. BZN-MSP is 37500 for PerkSaver and PerkPass and MSP-SNA is 50000 for PerkPass. These two are combined and you get 87500. NWA has trouble there to price this correctly and they need to fix it. This is something for TTU.
Oh, and I just found plenty of these between MEM and HNL for 9/15 and 9/22...

Handicap Seats are sometimes unblocked on nwa.com
I was checking my seat assignment for a flight on Sunday morning June 11th. On NW5820 DTW/CMH seats 1A/1B AND 2A/2B were open Sunday afternoon June 3rd and could be assigned even though they were handicap designated. Now, when I checked the seat map on nwa.com midnight June 4th the seats are locked and cannot be reserved through nwa.com
There has been an ongoing inconsistancy with unlocked and locked handicap seats for the nwa.com seat selection. I have noticed this inconsistency for the last 9 months.

Therefore, the award travel search is pulling up 87,500 because you are using two tickets to get from Bozeman to SNA. Not sure what NWA will tell you if you call.
BTW...NWA will not sell you a ticket in the BZN-SNA market (at least through nwa.com).
RadioCycle - the handicap "bug" is actually quite nice if you know how to work the system and get it to work in your favor.

Dear Sir/Madam
I was pricing the first class NWA award ticket from TYS to HNL and back
outbound on Sep 15 and inbound on Sep 22. I got an itinerary that
priced
at 125,000 miles per person. I do believe there is a mistake since
TYS-HNL in the first class should be 75,000 miles.
This was the result of my search.

It seems there are being combined PerkPass TYS-DTW in coach class for
50,000 miles and PerkSaver DTW-HNL in the first class for 75,000 miles.
I do believe I should be offered this itinerary for 75,000 miles only
since there are plenty of seats booked into W class between TYS and DTW
on the above dates and most importantly the required mileage for the
first class travel between TYS and HNL is 75,000 miles per

Could you forward this email to the appropriate department at NWA so
that this error in pricing of the first class award tickets was fixed?
Thank you

I do believe NWA reply is wrong. Between DTW and HNL those seats are A seats which is PerkSaver First class. There is no first class service between TYS and DTW. So I need to search for W class. There is plenty of W class seats between DTW and TYS on those dates (I run a separate search for TYS-DTW).
So, there are A seats DTW-HNL and back and W seats TYS-DTW and that should be PerkSaver at 75,000 miles.

That's correct. NW got it wrong here and you should be getting it at 75,000 miles. Unfortunately, this is likely a bug with nwa.com and you'll have to book it via phone.

more upgrade weirdness
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the following has been done:
One way ticket (BKK-SFO), select Business Class & Mileage Upgrade from Full Fares. If search by price, only flights with availability come up. If search by schedule, all sorts of combinations/possibilities come up, but clicking on anything that doesn't come up in search by price leads you back to the original search screen with the msg: "We're sorry, there was a problem processing this search request."
Not quite a web bug, but thought I'd mention it, when I repeatedly called the phone reservation desk, the agents were not able to see the same availability that I could. In this case, they did not see upgrade availability on a BKK-NRT-SEA-SFO routing, whereas nwa.com did, and happily sold me the ticket.
