My spanish is not good. But according to my understanding only flights originating from Europe will be adjusted?

You have to love these two sentences:
"To be sure that our members have the opportunity to understand all changes before these take place, all modifications will be effective from October 15th, 2014."
"To know the exact amount of required miles for each origin and destination, it will be necessary to consult the amount through the redemption system athttps://www.lifemiles.com/eng/use/red/dynredpar.aspx after October 15th, 2014."
So don't be concerned, we are giving you plenty of advance notice that changes are coming. But you won't find out what they are until after they've happened. LOL.

For housekeeping purposes, I'll merge two threads on the same subject.
