*A simpler earning structure providing the reliability/clarity we are so well known for;
*The succesor of our world wide successfull Seat Choice launch, providing the customer with the option of paying for more service, as in this case 100% Level Miles.
*Our customers want the ability to chose, and now we offer a transparent price and level mile structure to suit your flying needs.
My biggest surprise is that this "enhancement" has not come sooner.
Let the exodus begin!
Here we go (taken from the announcement on
http://www.flyingbluenews.com/news/2...hanging.html):
*a better connection is made between the fare paid, the ticket conditions and the number of Miles earned
*The redemption scheme now also better reflects fares and the flexibility of the ticket
*Flying Blue is determined to offer you a range of advantages
*easy access and attractive offers for every traveller
*rediscover all your advantages
They also link to an interview with the management regarding these changes, but of course the link does not work (
