The award chart was removed already several years ago.

The calculator is the only way to "consult" the mileage amount required, and while it still works off an underlying (though unpublished) chart, it only shows "starting from" values.

The move to total dynamic pricing of all seats available on flights, and the complete decoupling of prices from charts, means that any link to the old "chart" will be completely broken. On high-demand routes, the prices will be higher (as is the case with cash fares) - they don't price cash tickets based on a "chart" that only looks at zones, so the new pricing system will be similarly adaptive.
