yep ...
they reduced miles earning for some booking classes
here is the list:
Medium haul :
G, U ==> 50%
N ==> 25%
Long haul & COI :
G, U ==> 50%
L ==> 25%
But they rose level awards (75% for Gold and 100% for Plat) and being an Irish resident you can get Plat with 70000 statut miles.
I suggest you to book E class instead of N. For example the fare EAPIE costs 95EUR against 80EUR for NAPIE. You'll get 1750 Miles with your gold and soon 2000 with your plat

... for 15EUR more ... wait a minut before leaving for Ryan ...
I need 90000 miles to become plat as a French resident and that's a shame !!!!
