US Airways Chart devalued?
Is it just me, or did the award chart for US Air just get devalued?
US-North Asia RT redemptions are now 110k instead of 90k:

US just changed one thing in their partner award chart
From what I can tell, US just changed the price of USA to North Asia from 90K in J to 110K in J. F stays at 120K. In fact, everything else looks the same.

Makes one wonder what other insta-changes could be upcoming. Perhaps the Share Miles bonus isn't such a good deal after all??

Dougie has actually found a way to make Skypesos look reasonable with their stopover and open-jaw rules. Just amazing, but I guess not unexpected from teh king of bottom feeding.
Welcome to USdbaAA with bit of Delta envy for no advance notice changes and general customer unfriendliness.

They added a 150k miles category for first class travel within the U.S. It's beginning to look like Delta Pesos...

Turned some good deals into only some 'so-so' deals. Very low class way to just up the awards, though.
I'd guess if they had come up with this chart last week, their Share Miles promo would have been a lot less popular this week.

Was that the only change? Worried about South Pacific now.
