so it's 8 miles/LP per dollar for regular tickets and 3.2miles/LP per dallar for BE tickets. costs $199 to cancel BE ticket. i wont be too concerned about the cancellation fees (at least ime), if one cancel much less than the number of BE flights they actually take over the long term, the savings could more than netoff the fees after factoring in the value of miles & LPs for me. but you have to do your own math as everyone value miles and LP differently
