Exclamation New US Star Alliance/Partner Award Charts Released - Effective 1/6/10

/from the mods:
With sincere thanks to HedgeFundie for pointing out the newly released chart, we're going to include a few items in this first post that will likely be of interest to those with US miles. HedgeFundie's original post is immediately below the "/not from the mods:" text and is otherwise unchanged.

The new chart (PDF) can be directly accessed here (quoted amounts are for round trip travel): http://www.usairways.com/pv_obj_cach...wardtravel.pdf

The old/current chart (PDF) useful for reference can be directly accessed here:
http://www.usairways.com/pv_obj_cach...wardtravel.pdf

Major highlights of the new chart:
  • Rates effective from 6 January, 2010.
  • The average increase across all changed rates was 21%.
  • Increases to/from Hawaii for many regions (averaging 19% across all award changes).
  • Increases from North America/Hawaii/Caribbean to Europe/South America.
  • Increases in intra-region transport for Middle East, Caribbean/Latin America, South Pacific (coach only) and Europe.
  • F intra-Europe is still not available (despite UA and TK operating F cabins intra-Europe).
  • C/F intra-Caribbean/Latin America is now available.
  • Russia still assigned to North Asia region.
  • No increases from North America to South Pacific, Asia (North, South, or Central), Africa, or the Middle East.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for:
