Folks, with Frequence Plus a one-way econ (N) from DUB to LCY on Air France used to give me 1000 base plus 500 bonus (the Rouge 50%) - a nice happy 1500 miles. It has been that way right up till last Friday.

With Flying Blue, the same flight (last Tueday morning) now gets me 187 base plus 140 bonus (the Gold 75%) - a very unhappy 327 miles. "Generous by nature" I think not.

My last Air France reward cost 50,000 miles - earned in just under 17 round-trips. Under "Generous By Nature" Flying Blue, I'll need to make 153 round trips.

Could my "Reliable Airline" and my "Making the Sky the Best Place on Earth" airline really have intended that ?
Has anyone else been similarly shafted by this new FB regime ?

In the past I've always said I'd steer clear of Ryanair between Ireland and the UK - might be time to give them another look.
