EK seems to be lying with their indication that the redemption award increases are in line with the earning rate increase however
taking Sydney- Europe West
Currently, 1st class earns 45,000 r/t and a 1st saver award is 270,000 r/t with flex at 337,500
Under new rates. 1st class earns 64,000 r/t and a 1st award is 480,000
with a 42% increase in earning, redemption rates should be 384k for a saver award. If you ignore saver awards then it is the same increase on awards since the 42% on 337.5 would bring it to 480K
