Correct Mileage?
 
Hey all,

I'm trying to requalify for GE. Right now, I've got some MRs planned, and although I do have some ideas down, there is one route that is confusing: DCA-DTW-MEM-LAX-DTW-DCA. The Mileage Calculator on WEBFLYER.COM gives a different number from the number of miles noted on my NWA.com itinerary. The difference in mileage between the NWA-calculated value and the Webflyer.com value is small but crucial.

For those of you who have actually traversed on any of these particular segments below, I would appreciate if you could let me know the exact number of miles posted to your account.


Thanks a lot, FT :D

I have noticed this over the years, last year my mom made platinum (with my help) by 4 miles. The NWA itineraries are not correct. I've been so sick of hearing flight attendants on the MSP-SEA flights say that "Today WorldPerks members and members of our airline partners will earn 1,395 miles" I just want to jump up and be like no, actually you'll earn 1,399 miles!

The correct mileages are posted in the NW .PDF timetable that is available on nwa.com:

And also from the nwa.com Mileage Calculator: WorldPerks-> Manage My Account -> Mileage Calculator.

... I would appreciate if you could let me know the exact number of miles posted to your account.

PHP Code:
NW 0347   DCA - DTW    500  1   500
NW 0285   DTW - MEM    610  1   610
NW 0181   MEM - LAX   1619  1  1619 **
NW 0338   LAX - DTW   1979  1  1979
**Mileage Calculator blew MEM-LAX :rolleyes: ~ Milecalc.com usually nails 'em cold.

NW's calculator only shows 1618 for that one, but MileCalc shows the correct mileage as 1619, which is the same as my WP statement, as does http://www.nwa.com/travel/timetable/ .

FWIW, 49999 EQMs has more on the mileage discrepancies.
