Look again: Kazakhstan is super special. It's listed twice, in Europe
and in Central Asia!

(Turkmenistan is also listed in both places!)
LOL, that is United for you! They did change their award chart recently, perhaps they rearranged a few countries as well.
Interesting to see Russia grouped into Europe too. Sri Lanka is listed twice also. And Bangladesh seem like a cheaper way to book an India trip too.

Yeah, i saw that. I was hoping they might group it into Europe. I'm not 100%, but I think i have seen Morocco grouped into Europe on a different FF program.
