Just ticketed a simple EU - North Asia F itinerary that I had on hold. took me over 3 hours to ticket because they wanted to charge 180K instead of 100K. And that was going through the rate desk... Acording to them that's supposed to be the new price.

That plus the cancellation of stopovers on AA are starting to make me worried. While I originally thought we would have one more year before any major changes would be made to the redemption chart, I am actually considering burning the 700+K i have in bank, and for the first time did not purchase any in last week share promo...

Now to the calendar and planning how to burn those miles... maybe I'll be lucky enough and among others find two JAL F seats in the 330 days mark, as well as two QF F!

Lastly I hope I am wrong about this and hope we still have some time left!
