This is effectively a $25 coupon each way on flights to Europe (similar to the $50 they offered in J-class a little while ago). By my math these 'promotions' typically work out to be a 2-5% discount on flights at best.
My question is does this actually work on anyone? It seems to me that even the most inexperienced traveler would see through these types of promotions very quickly -- it's unlikely to change buying behaviour, but perhaps people appreciate it if they are already flying?
Don't even get me started on AC promos...LOL....I get the email every week and I can never get a flight when I want to go based on the promos. I would just ignore them if I were you.....I ignore them almost completely. I still have my e-mail subscribed and I open it once every few months and it is the most useless promo or email I have ever read.
