A new devaluation of miles (real this time) is surely coming. Even though they have bigger things to fix first.

Time to burn those TG miles now before award charts change. Next month *A award ICN-LHR-BKK-ICN. Got routed on TG LHR-BKK initially but switched to BR for lower fees/taxes. =) Silom office agent didn't believe it first and had to check several times to confirm.

- "Mr hco, it seems your taxes have decreased."
- "Yes, I know" ~with a smile~

Also switching AMEX/TG to normal AMEX, start collecting general AMEX points instead so not locked into TG redemption.
