Chris, sorry for being particular, but I felt one of your postings may not have been as agreeable with some or many of us OWE flyers...
I would also like to know whether or not the things that we take advantage of for the miles will be changed soon. How much of a loss do the airlines incur from people like us?
Some people do in fact "take advantage of for the miles" and use the Oneworld Explorer
solely for racking up the miles and status. This itself, I have no opinion. I personally don't do mileage runs, and am not really interested in participating in the "most miles with OWE contest." Meanwhile, I do understand that some people indeed "fly to fly," and I have no intention to interfere with their travel planning.
However, not all of us consider the Oneworld Explorer fare as a mileage run product.
I would appreciate if you can take into consideration that many of us use this fare simply to "go" to places. The Oneworld Explorer fare is a round the world fare that allows travelers maximum flexibility for visiting multiple destinations making best use of the Oneworld alliance network. For us, the lenient routing rules are in our advantage for taking us to exotic places which we would otherwise never visit being far and expensive to visit.
Thanks for listening, and best regards.
