Checking in on-line
 

I'm thinking about flying back and forth DTW-FNT for mileage mania several times in a weekend. How many flights can I check in for on-line at the same time? It looks like I would have seven flights each on a Saturday and a Sunday, so I want to get as many points as possible. Thanks.

Curious as to what type of fare you're planning to use. When I checked there was a good USD 95.00 return DTW-FNT but it required a Sat nite stay.

Also, after reading the promo rules, it says use nwa.com e-checkin was worth 5 points. But that's 5 points for every time you use this service or 5 points for your first check in? Same idea for ticket purchase on nwa.com?

I admire your ingenuity. Just wish I lived closer to a NW hub.

I'm working on how to check in as many times as possible online. I'll let you know if/when we pull it off.

By the way, there is no need to live in a hub. Although we live in Minneapolis, we would fly in to Detroit on Friday night, overnight at the airport, complete the mileage runs on Sat/Sun and fly home Sunday night. We called NW and found out that the cheapest B fare between the two, with a Saturday overnight, is $196. We are looking into booking eight Sat/Sun overnight roundtrips, with every other one being DTW-FNT and the alternate being FNT-DTW so that we would always have a ticket on the next flight out. At this point, we are investigating what, if any, rules of ticketing we would be breaking. It looks like we would be okay.
