I fully expected North America to Europe to go up to those multiples, which would be 120k for J and around 160-170k for F. So yes, as it stands, the devaluation ex-NA was not as bad as I expected (some of it most likely due to elevated YQ collected to Europe). It's more or less in line with United's current chart too.
BA Avios raised business class to TRIPLE the price of economy and first class QUADRUPLE. Up until this year I had benchmarked Aeroplan against BA charges and thought that would be the upper bound of pricing, but now, I fear for the future.
At 200k for a J ticket to Asia, that would be when I will have to tap out and give up
