For the ex-FRA example it’s harder, you can try to add HEL-FRA, MAD-FRA or LHR-FRA, or more difficult is adding the AS segment on. The moment you do this it resets the award to partner saaver business which is 57.5k or saaver first which is 85k and it avoids the AA dynamic pricing. It can be a hassle, but I have been making this work for a few months since I figured it out.
Is it still easy to drop the intra-EU segment without repricing?
