i was playing around with the award res system and i think i found another bug. (and it's actually a good thing) on the HNL-NRT route, it sometimes shows 17500 for PERKSAVER coach and sometimes it shows 20K for another date. Also, when you put together a trip with both 17500 PERKSAVER...it adds up to 37500..which is wrong because it should only add up to 35000.

For example: I put in March 26 outbound and Apr 2 inbound NRT-HNL. I get 17500 each way for a grand total of 37500!!! and not 35K.

Also when you put in a date like July 4- you get 20K p/leg which is the right amount according to the award chart.

If anyone is looking for this route in Y for an award...this might save you about 2500 miles or more if you can get it to price it out at 35K. You just have to play around with it.

I'm personally not looking for this award...but just happened to run across it. Hope it helps someone out...before it gets taken off after i post this

I've had to book all my US-Asia reward tickets on the phone as late, as many, many, many errors occur. Unless you get to the purchase screen, I wouldn't count on any of this being real.

It's a broader issue than Asia. The search on nwa.com is pulling up all sorts of weird things, such as 38 minute connect times in DTW, but try to book any of these oddities and you quickly get an error message telling you that you've been wasting your time. Some discussion of it on my thread called error message 183.

So I can confirm that unless you've actually booked the itin in question, you need not assume that it's really on offer.
