[If you can book in advance the new changes can be much better than before. I booked 2 tickets in Business for 29k each plus 247$ BOS - LHR May next year. I also got tickets for my son in Premium economy IAD - LHR for 10.5k plus 105 . Those are probably my cheapest redemptions ever and I have been using my FF points from 1993. Deals are definitely out there but are more likely available far in advance

QUOTE=UKtravelbear;36877153]Yes. They introduced dynamic pricing

But they aren't totally worthless. Use them for train tickets and buying wine via the Virgin Red app or for flying on partners[/QUOTE]
