I'm surprised I have not seen a lot of chatter (read, complaining) regarding the increase in cost of stickers. I have used 14 so far this year, and if I'm lucky I could use another 20ish this year.
I don't really want to sit on a bunch of stickers, but with lower earning rate and increase in price it seems prudent to stock up. Am I the only one?
Someone please talk me out of buying 30 stickers now at the lower rate and save $300 over the next year.
Personally, buying stickers (even though at $30 each) is nonsense.
$30 for what? A business class domestica with no IFE, old seats, a $10 boring food, and couple of drinks? No way! For me, that's not business.
Id rather spend (at airport before boarding or in the restaurant before airport) a real GREAT meal for $40 or $50, and forget about eating a $10 meal in the plane. (A $10 small no variable meal which costs $30 per 500-miles?!?!?!!).
How in da world would i pay for such a robbery? A robbery that can cost even $120 for a pretty short flight (3 stickers for a 1,500 miles flights).
I do the math, and it makes no sense for me.
My only stickers are by way of actual flying. If i dont earn them flying, I dont buy them.
