And from Cygnific, the latest news about the new program:
- beaubo (thank you for your message): USA/BKK business class, normal miles rate should be 120k business, 160k first, 40k upgrade
Not known so far if web@wards will cease to exist
- confirmed 25% miles accrual in E/N/V on KL; same will apply (or is this the case already?) for AF N classes (medium haul) and L (long haul)
- example of miles accrual (someone knows distances in miles to check?) for a flight CDG/JFK: PE's now earn 8190 miles or 11900 in business; should go down to 7280 and 9100
- miles needed between Europe and Asia will be 80k/120k/160 in the 3 classes; upgrade 40k
- Europe-Tahiti: same as to Asia
- Europe/Australia and New Zeeland: 100/150/200, no upgrades possible
I feel my secrets sources inside FD have run out of other bad news, but the whole lot is bad enough.
We will then see what happens......
