Yes, I am not impressed much. Keeping band 2 at a wide range of 750-2750 is still just beyond me. Since ex-China I fare to SIN can be bought for 600 usd up, essentially it will now take only 6000 (or less than 50k HKD) to renew DM for those determined.
R fare going up is not bad for the 2 long haul bands, however. Although its true E and YBHK remain the same, they both get upped. east coast based students flying expensive Y may have a shot at SL again, I guess this makes them happy (same logic applies for leisure flyer).
