Re-affirms my decision to say good-bye to AS - they went from 'very competitive' to 'bottom of the list' within 24 hours. Very sad
I am on same boat. I was going to make minor changes to another booking. But now, not anymore.
my husband booked business award flights yesterday. I was going to book mine (same exact thing) but flight went up 45K. Crying laughing right now.

I'm also going to say goodbye to AS. I was elite member for 10+ years and used to go out of my way to fly them (even pricier/ longer connection). But now, what's the point?
