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.
Yes, fly smart was great value, 30k mikes for 4 segments in J, last minute , with simply ludicrous last minute pricing on revenue & HON benefits on the transfer, the cost to me wouldn’t cover their FCL bar tab
