However, after 1st April, you will need to pay at least twice as much, or GBP 1200, to receive 100% miles on this itinerary. To achieve this, you will need an economy class ticket in B class.

In other words, you will need to double your budget for the economy class flights if you want the same amount of miles!
Yes, but as it is an improvement, don't forget to say that you will feel much much happier for paying more to get less!@:-)
