This is the thread where we can post about an increase in the number of Avios required to fly only if we show another similar route where the Avios required to fly has fallen by the same amount or more.
A bit like the Number Crunching section in Private Eye!
I'll start:
JFK-HKG-JFK, first class: Avios increase 60k
LHR-PVG-LHR, first class: Avios decrease 60k
There must be many more!
