5 minutes on the Internet brought up man to Melbourne taking 10/09 to 17/09 as an average

Skywards cost£5344 per person for 54000 tier miles ie 4 roundtrips at 13500 tier miles while etihad brought in 43590 tier miles for 2 journeys at a cost of £2477 per person same journey
Do you not agree skywards has brought in saver fares to thin out it's elite membership leaving the lounges for it's business paying members only
I signed up for skywards because I believed them to be fair and affordable,now they seem to be reneging on these perks in the name of making the system simpler to understand
By the way the emirates flight had one way in flex so god knows how the figures would have added up all in saver... Not good reading I would have thought
