Cyber--Savers??
 

I was hoping for a DC-DTW CyberSaver for this weekend, and I got my wish.... kind of.

DCA-DTW $179 online, $199 by phone for the 45 min. flight.

United has $258RT IAD-Munich.

I can earn miles on the UA Munich fare, but I can't on the NW fare. Something's wrong with this picture.

Sorry... I had to vent. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Greensboro is 60 miles farther... and $50 cheaper! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

The something that is wrong is Northwest. Just say no to Cybersavers without mileage credit and you'll be happier. I certainly am.

"Sire, it is not a revolt. It is a Revolution!"

Or you could fly to Chicago on UA for the same price, give or take a few dollars.

But we all know NW doesn't abuse the near monopoly it enjoys at its hubs...

Come over to MUC I'd say.

I guess I'm upset at the combination of:

-- no mileage credit

-- Cyber Fares that are now based on the _market_ not the distance.

Their generic CyberSaver fare examples list $119 MSP-BWI. How does $179/$199 DCA-DTW fit into this scheme... other than hub advantage? Fuel prices haven't gone up _that_ much.

Re. Going to Munich, I went to school in Michigan.... I guess I brought it upon myself. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif (I had to deal with the touchy MSP-DTW route for years.)
