It's rubbish. I can't imagine anyone - who has got their head screwed on the right way - who would want to book an Early Bird special, or sees any value in it. I just wonder, once the Corona thing blows over, if any of these stupid decisions will be reversed.

While I know that fares generally are cheaper than they ever have been, I still found a lot of value in last minute Fly Smart awards. You could book economy or business, you could do open jaws, double open jaws. It was truly useful. Which is clearly why they removed it.
