Miles can be moved out of some of the missing airlines, at least, via one method or another. They all seem to suck, but it'd be nice to find something that minimizes the suckage. Looks like I can launder my Northwest miles through HHonors. Exchange rate sucks, but at least I'll get *something*.

E.g., Delta. I don't know when the webflyer utility was updated last. In part, that’s because some airlines don’t allow miles to be moved out. E.g., Delta.

Northwest isn't there. Neither is USAir or Alaska or most of the other major airlines. Plenty show up in the convert to menu.
