I don’t think you understand what I am saying. The day before the notice of devaluation, I was looking at roughly 20 different days for a trip to change a current ticket booked in J to on a NA-HKG flight (and HKG-NA although less days). Every single one of those flights when from 5J to 2J the next day....POOF!



Are you suggesting that CX has taken 5 regular seats that people had access to with Avios/AA miles etc. and made only 2 per flight?



I personally think it was CX making sure there was no run on J on LH and then once they have devalued the miles, I HOPE they will put back the other J seats back into the inventory although it sounds to me like you might be suggesting that they have two levels of access and that the devaluation might screw partners on redemptions?



Either way I have gotten out of the points game and burned what I need for my flights just would prefer to change the month of travel. No big deal if not.
