Earlier today,
The Freequent Flyer asked on Twitter if anyone else had run into this as a short roudtrip was pricing out at 38K IB Avios instead of the expected 9K.
I had
written about using IB Avios and seen the same chart on 8/15 but that was looking at AT (Royal Air Maroc). I'm not sure if that was the chart for AA yet at that point. Now the 'new' chart seems to be in use for all IB partners except IB, BA, VY and IG. Definitely an ugly development - if you have AA or US shorthauls to book I wouldn't wait!
