To be honest with you I feel the miles + the vouchers that you earn kind of make up for the high redemption rates.

Over all it's not a bad program if you can book in advance. Or else they do let you stand by which most programs don't.

i have managed 2 seats in f on the del-lon route....booking the first one was easy but the second one took some doing....it took about a week but finally the good people at the jp desk gave in & gave me the second seat....
