We now have so may seats that are taking with all these upgrades, 2-4-1s, mileage redemptions etc - I used to wonder why so many here seemed to occupy F now I have a fair idea that we are not getting the yield. Now - don't get me wrong - the redemptions are part of the whole miles thing - but I am now absolutely convinced that it is going too far.
F should be there for those who have primarily for those who pay for it.
I am certain that I will be lectured about people who have collected all these miles have paid for it - well actually their employers have mostly. One day - and I have waited for this for years - the law will be changed and this will be a taxed benefit the same as having your own car parking space at work and everything else. I dread the day but I have a nasty feeling that it cannot be long coming in this present economic climate.
Right - off to work!
Totally agree with you PUCCI, especially if/when the vast majority of those miles don't even come from flying.
F should be a special experience for everybody but it's been cheapened by all these 2-4-1's, Chase deals, Tesco, etc
That said, the constant chipping away of parts of the premium product upsets me and is a concern. I wish those who authorise these cuts would look closer about at how this is affecting people's perception of the product.
