In other words our NWA miles are about worthless. For instance round trip SFO-BKK = 60,0000 miles and $900.00 cash!
not sure about this.....
i didn't get that email from NWA Worldperks.
just did a search on NWA.com for SFO-BKK (round trip May 7th, returning May 14th) and got several choices of flights for 30K miles each way.
never got to a place/page that said I had to add any cash to those miles, but it may come later in the booking process? not sure?
coincidentally, had just checked domestic flights yesterday and found the standard 25K miles for round trip within the 49 U.S. (excluding Hawaii)
as far as i can tell - nothing has changed (yet?)
