- Changes to miles needed for some Saver and Standard Awards, including domestic stopovers (link - PDF p.2)
- Different premium cabin mileage levels for Star Alliance and MileagePlus partners (link - PDF p.3)
- Changes to upgrade policy for intra-Asia and northern South America flights (link - see chart)
Changes to the award charts take effect for all award tickets issued on or after February 1, 2014. The upgrade policy changes will not impact any flights taken before February 1, 2014.
As always, I’m here and will do my best to answer any clarifying questions you may have.

Is there a way to see what has changed?
What exactly does "Different premium cabin mileage levels" mean?
Are you trying to say that you have raised the price to fly in a premium cabin using miles with those words?
Have you eliminated saver awards on partners?
Needless to say, strong thumbs down. Flier friendly? Really???
