I see that the bones of the site are up. When will it be completed? I applaud the effort by the volunteers.

Well, several FT'ers have offered up help, myself included.

We lost a lot of steam when WP took a different stance on the award re-deposit fee. However, that being said, we still do have several battles to fight.

If anyone would like to offer up help... PM me and I'll add you to the committee mailing lists.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NWA did not rescind the award fee redeposits/reissues, they just gave us 2 free changes (and will charge $50 for additional changes), is that correct?

Correct. They have given back some of what they took but not all of it.

Is it free changes for two trips, or free changes for two changes? If you make one change to a trip, have you just used up one change?

I'm hearing even CO is offering unlimited changes, as long as it's 21 days out, and isn't changing the origin, destination, or dates of travel. That's seems fair, if you booked a connecting flight and a direct flight becomes available, or you booked unfavorable times and favorable times become available.

I believe the rules say two "reservations" but I am sure they mean two "changes", regardless of which reservations the changes are made to. Time will tell.

Don't forget that they took away our Gold/Platinum Companion Upgrades at the gate!

Delta offers companion upgrades to Platinum, Gold and Silver Medallions (but companions must be on a K fare or higher)

It is however taking away the NW Plat Confirmed Companion upgrade, but I dont think Golds will notice much of a difference (except for the companion minimum fare class rule).

On leisure flights, where one is flying on his own dime and looking for the best fare, that minimum fare class can make a huge difference. And it is leisure travel where one is most likely going to be taking a companion.

NWA has *NOT* discontinued Platinum confirmed companion upgrades of travelers in the same reservation, and has not instituted any fare class restrictions.

NWA *HAS* discontinued the Plat/Gold at-airport standby companion upgrade of anyone.

Correctamundo... however the thing that peeves me off to no end is that a BENEFIT for NW Elites is being cut, while a similar benefit for DL Elites is being added... :td:

Hear, Hear!!!

That is a big minus for me. On several occasions, like next month, I meet up with a companion somewhere en route then we travel to our destination from there. So by definition we are never in the same reservation/PNR. So no chance for a companion gate upgrade which is too bad.

Another great way Delta is destroying the program.

Agreed - I frequently travel EAU-MSP-XXX with an employee that travels CMX-MSP-XXX and the benefit has been handy.

Although not so much with all the DL elites crawling all over our flights. Missed my upgrade ATL-MSP last week. :(

Dudes, vote with your feet!
