These sorts of things ( apart from that I think that EK's premium products are very good ) which have a much more relevent impact for me than lesser things like FF miles.
Overall , the new earning structure has been no worse for me than the old one was
Point is should EK be doing these kinds of "enhancements" .. we are aware of many changes to the benefits and this is what is concerning.. add to this the price rises in many sectors as evident from the many posts in this thread..
If price is not higher with better timings, fare conditions then its great..
I myself am resorting to EK lately since EK serves my city nearly double daily whereas the next best ( LH ) serves it 3 times a week.. and the fares ( though higher than earlier but with 50% less miles) are still better than LH BUT that does not mean EK needs to fall to the standards of many European / American carriers..
