While F prices are significantly lower than in the past (it seems they're making more I fares available to compensate a bit/perhaps encourage more revenue from folks willing to buy F), another option is to use miles to confirm in F..
Yeah, that indeed seems to be the case across the board, even for very far away itineraries. It seems that they're betting that things aren't going back to normal even a year out, which is probably a good bet I suppose, crazy times. Well, I guess MVPG are on the same footing as anyone else now when it comes to change fees and getting into F in advance, who would've thought!
