International :
2,500 SQC bonus / leg in Business
1,500 SQC bonus / leg in PE and Latitude
1,000 SQC bonus / leg in Comfort and Flex
All other flights :
1,250 bonus SQC / leg in Business
750 bonus SQC / leg in Latitude
It took BA about 6 months after they adopted their revenue based model to make these "enhancements".
It will be interesting to me (and maybe only to me) to see if AC fine tunes their program after about 6 months like BA has done.
I am sure they will. I am changing my habit now moving from flex fares to the cheaper standard fare as I am focused on LMQ and standard is now 100% LMQ. There are many routes I fly on that are NB and a seat in an emergency row for 1-4 hours is just fine. Also I am surrounded by Q400 where I used AP to fly as paying $300-$400 for a 40 minute to 1 hour flight I think is silly. So now $100 standard fare works for me. I also have 5 years banked SE so if i do not get the 125K SQC one year i am still good. All i need is 800,000 LMQ to him my goal of 3MM then my task in life will be completed and I can hold up the holly grail, lol.
