"Wonder what is going to happen to teh FF miles..I've got more than 4 RT worth:

Just got an email from NW announcing the merger.

It said in the email that all FF miles will be good.

But, if I were you, I would try to use FF miles not because of the merger, but because there is always a possibility that any or all airlines will change their rules for trips using FF miles.

They just <b>announced</b> the merger. It's many months from being completed, if at all.

dusty - see my post under airlines. I have same question since miles never did get transferred from America West to USAirways when they merged.

Hardly complete but apparently quite probably going to happen.

I guess htings have changed since &quot;Mr. Delta&quot; trumpeted the &quot;we're intent on remaining a stand alone carrier&quot; blah blah blah after fending off the USAirways proposal.

Guess this means no more lost luggage, right?????

The companies agree to the merger, but it is far from being approved -- many hoops yet to jump through.

I haven't seen anything about KLM, are they going to remain partners? Will they change from Northwest/KLM to Delta/KLM?

NW, DL, AF, KL, AZ and OK got preliminary approval for their anti-trust exemption last week from the US government. That's an expansion of the current NW/KL partnership. That allows those 6 airlines to co-market flights, share costs and share lots of information among themselves.

What has NOT been announced is AFKLM investing in DLNW.
