I think this discussion is a bit trivial, whether SkyMiles gives 1.1 or 1.5; for destinations that I want to go to, I really can't do better than 1.2-1.3 cpm, barring the Flash sales (which needs to happen more often like pre-pandemic to during pandemic, please).
You guys are overlooking the best news for this; the 1,000,000 SkyMiles needed for D1 ATL-JNB would now be 850k, that's a whopping 150k SkyMiles savings, what deal!!!
