Amazing.
Just an example for DE to US West (New region and separate from US East now):
Collected points for paid flights oneway:
F: 8'300 (so far 9'300), -11%
C: 5'200 (so far 4'100), +27%
D/Z: 3'300 (so far 4'100), -19%
Oneway Award flights:
F: 162'000 (so far 51'500), +218%
C: 76'000 (so far 39'500), +92%
Oneway upgrades:
C to F: 64'500 (so far 25'400), +154%
D/Z to F: 96'000 (so far 25'400), +278%
Unbelievable. So far I could argue the C and F fares we pay with about 20% discount via PPB, when using this instrument. Now the discount is probably below 5%. My first guess, many LH employees working for PPB will need a new job after 2009.
