Am I now happy that they are reducing mileage credit, thus eliminating the possibility to achieve SEN status and privileges like fast lane and lounge access?
If LH believes my previous purchases were transactional and not influenced by loyalty and thus believes more transactional behaviour by itself is called for, so be it. I just see price levels at its competitor BA for my main routes as being approx. 15% lower on average. I can be a very loyal customer if I am being provided with the right product. Thus far LH had a few things going for it that justified spending approx. 15% more. They are eliminating these factors quite efficiently - and thus my loyalty.
This is an interesting one.
If I understand you correctly, you paid a premium of 15% (~4500 Euro) annually to get fast lane and lounge access.
Spread over your 69 segments, you paid a premium of Euro 65 per segment.
Depending on your home airport, a lot of money, so (IMHO) def. worth considering for the future. Based on my home airport and normal destinations, it would not be enough to keep me on board the Kranich
As pointed out before, if a competitor is offering you the same goodies at a 15% discount, you should go for it.
Isn’t that the main reason why Audi is able to sell cars not made in Munich or Stuttgart, although it is more like 10% in their case...
