I don't see any other examples at the moment, but I'm sure I'll stumble across them at some point. The chart is dead.
Pretty obscure DP to use to disprove there's no underlying saver award chart. Even when there was a published award chart, there were price differences for nonstop versus connecting awards, like the 8K partner short-haul nonstop for flights under 800 miles.
But especially with an ET 5th freedom award, I'm not surprised by a small difference in the saver rate.
