You are correct, but there is a lot of overlap in terms of which countries qualify for either reward.
I know that flying on CO to NRT or HKG would be 120K in BF, but the charts are confusing when they list the cost of a "FC/BF" reward as 140K, since CO is the only carrier that offers BF and we all know that BF costs 120K. Perhaps the 140K fee applies if you fly from the USA to Asia on CO in BF and then connect on a SkyTeam partner with a FC cabin to another destination in Asia.
Since a few of the new SkyTeam partners have three-class cabins, it would be helpful if CO could update its reward charts to clarify whether or not we can redeem miles for all three cabins on certain routes and how much it would cost for each respective cabin. Since they're upping the cost of the NW WBC rewards to Asia next month, I'm unsure as to whether they're still going to offer a lower priced business class reward, and if so, on which carrier(s). I still don't even know if we're able to redeem miles to fly AF's new FC product.
Anyone know?
