All of which represent ways to redeem miles at the low level. Have you heard of that term?

Actually, the codes I have mentioned, with the exception of maybe UL, are of well know airlines with international operations spread over as many as four continents. Google is your friend. I am more concerned about names such as flour, Cheese (real), Sugar, Ground Beef, soda, Shampoo, Deodorant, Baking soda, Chocolate Chips, Milk, Ice, Butter, Batteries. You help me with the above codes, then if you are unable to find the airlines whose codes I have mentioned, I will help try to help you.
N830MH takes the cake by far for finding the most two character combinations
Thanks in advance for your offer to help!

Why yes, yes I have. I just redeemed several low-level awards and have redeemed many in the past. Have fun flying the exotic Egyptair and the glorious US Airways. And you can even use your miles on UNITED, the shining jewel of the friendly skies!

MH (Malaysia Airlines)
one of the Gulf-area airlines (no, SV (Saudi Arabian Airlnies) doesn't count -- EK, QR or EY, though I know it will never happen)
But continuing recent trends I actually predict the next member will be JS (Air Koryo). And also that FTers will complain that JS gives 0% mileage for many discounted Y fares and only 50% mileage for many others, and that their award redemption calendar is broken...

What MH can do, can be done by 9W also. The same thing goes for UL. Buy bagging 9W bings in a decent airline and opens up opportunities to earn miles between India and other points in Asia. I am not agai8nst MH, but if there is a choice between MH and 9W (or even AI) I would prefer the other.
One or more of EK, EY, QR would be stupendous.

Sri Lanka has an airline? Who would have thunk it? Obviously, I've heard of Emirates and Etihad, but we don't get them exotic type airlines in PHL, ATL or DAB I've vaguely heard of Jet (I thought they were a budget airline in Pakistan or something - I'll have to research them since, apparently, I'm probably wrong )

Emirate, Etihad and Qatar Airways are said to have really nice premium cabin.
Jet Airways is not a Pakistani LCC. But a full fledged airline from India, thought to be much better than AI (Air India). I found AI to be quite decent in economy, certainly better than DL. I don;t know if they still do it, but a few years ago, they offered PDB (non alcoholic) in coach too. More flights on Jet would have meal service than DL does, even in coach.
