since I couldn't seem to be able to get into the CX forum, I'll just post here...

starting from April, CX has re-structured quite some of their fare codes...for example, I'm flying CX from HKG to TPE every week, out Sunday night and back Friday evening, always getting the "Normal Excursion" fare, YEE60, US$359 roundtrip...it's the same as the "Normal" fare, Y, US$439 roundtrip, except that YEE60 requires a minimum stay of 3 days and a maximum of 60 days...and, YEE60 still got me full 100% mileage and 1 sector towards Marco Polo qualification for each flight...

However, starting from April 1, they "renamed" this YEE60 to BEE60...and in CX's programs (both Asia Miles and The Club), B is regarded as discounted economy, so now I'll only be getting 50% of the miles and 0.5 sector towards Marco Polo for each flight...
at first I'm aiming for Diamond pretty soon later this year...now it'll take me double the time...of course, since BEE60 still pretty much has no restrictions, and I'm sure I'll be staying for 5 days each week, there's just no way I can ask my company to buy Y instead of BEE60...

not sure how many CX routes' fare codes have been changed though...
