With all due respect, the combination of higher fees, lower earning rates, and reduced annual XP naturally creates a rather pessimistic outlook. Especially considering the widespread devaluation and erosion of loyalty program benefits in post-pandemic times, in general. That said, Iet's see what this new “Flying Blue Extra Essentiel” entails and how it balances against the negative changes, so I won't be yelling “massive devaluation”, for now.
