I thought it was worthwhile highlighting, since quite some people were worried about this in the previous thread.
Indeed it appears they are being quite generous with the level miles/segments to XP conversion for most people. Earlier I calculated that a return AMS-NRT in Z after new year but before the switch (about 15k level miles) would earn 75 XP after conversion, which you'll note is actually more than it would earn in XP after the switch (72). And I currently have 7 segments planned in 2018 jan through march which, if flown after april 1, would earn 32 XP but due to the the conversion gives me 49 instead.
