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

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:

**Mileage Calculator blew MEM-LAX

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
