Which other airline? In case you haven't noticed, this is a trend across many airlines. In the USA,
both DL and UA are changing to giving miles based on fare paid, not miles based on distance flown. AA is in fact so far the lone holdout (among the major USA airlines), but is that only due to them being busy with their merger???
