You mean like how WOW Air charges for seats, just like BA? You don't even get carryon luggage on a WOW Basic fare- just a personal item like NK (so I hope you can pack for an overseas trip in a small 16x10x8 bag). Not sure FI wants to be giving that revenue up on WW flights just so people can redeem AS miles to go to TLV. Ancillary revenue on things like bags and seat assignments is hugely profitable for airlines like FR. I can't imagine it's any different for WW.
