I think I've said this to you before, but good. I think people voting with their wallet is the way to go. I don't quite understand why you are complaining about the short-haul Y drinks menu if your pattern is only redemptions in PE/J, but sure. And as I've said, being Ulti on AF-KL can be better than Lumo on AY (same goes for HON circle), so if you can spend 70k on flights per year, great. As a lowly plat on AF-KL, I get a lot more out of AY, especially in terms of the "personalized service" (since there is none on AF-KL unless you are Ulti) which I don't really care that much about (but free WiFi + drinks are nice).

I've got much less of an issue with HEL-based complainers complaining about actual big things than the ex-EU complainers who think this will destroy Finnair (but who can't even cut their own flying in response to champagne changes).

But I do wish people would try to keep some common sense instead of focusing on the actual changes that matter.

Changes that matter to each are quite subjective 😉 🤷‍♂️


As for the ULTI I certainly have never and will never spend 70k a year on flights, hell I bet I am in the 10-15% range of that maximum 😀

But Lumo and Ulti are not going to be renewed, by me. I will wait and see if I keep going on with AY in 2025 or if I will jump back to baEC or AA for status, lets see what ay has in mind 🤣🤣
