I haven't made an award travel in about 4 years but I never realized that it was one way before. So a Round Trip Flight in "Any Coach Seat" is 50K miles? I wish they would give discounts to elite members or something. Although I don't think I will redeem for domestic travel unless it was for someone travelling with me as I think the # of miles usually outweighs the fare. I mean 90K miles for F round trip is almost as much as Business Class Off Peak on BA @ 100K.

check the fine print-- all of the quoted redemption levels are now one-way.
it's not 45,000 for an unrestricted F, it's 90,000 r/t.
the restricted F is 27,500 one-way, or 55,000. which is 10,000 more than aa or ua.
especially silly is the one-way price quoting, but the restriction that one-way award ticketing is not allowed. Still, on the plus side, it does allow the innovative half-restricted, half-unrestricted round trip redemption.
