It won't go effect till November 20, so redeem while you can!

well the increase on long haul business class even on other OW airlines is actually 20-30k. Can’t say i’m happy about this before, i’m willing to wait till 330 days before the whole itinerary completes before booking with partner airlines (and risk losing the outbound seat) as the award chart for OW partners are attractive, but with this, then there’s no merit in booking other OW partners on routes that JL flies to (or close to), which are going to make overall competition for JL seats even tougher.
