Their redemption rates seem OK to me unless you are travelling through more than one region in which case they seem pretty high. Am I reading it right?

Miles & Bonus program is sector oriented. The passenger redeems for every flight number the miles corresponding to such flight.

Australia to UK in F, for example...
Far East - Oceania redemption @ 150K return
+
Far East - Europe redemption @ 200K return

So 350K for a SYD-LHR F class? UA want 200K.

However, they also have a Oceania - Europe award level @200K F class. I just don't understand how you'd get between the two regions on one *A sector.

If that's correct, it's a major reason that's keeping me away from M&B. Status to me is less important than reasonable redemption.

Hoping to be corrected...
