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!
Whoa. That is concerning. 180K for F? I mean it seems logical that 120K is too low considering J was upped to 110K, but this should be done with at least a BIT of warning. Otherwise I (and probably others) topped up for nothing.
I wonder if we ticket RIGHT NOW and later call to upgrade or change to other flights that weren't yet available in F, will they charge only the $150 fee, or the point difference effective at that time, as well?
