North Korea?
Asia 1
China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, North Korea, Singapore*, South Korea, Thailand*, Taiwan, Vietnam*. * As of December 15, 2015, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam will be part of the travel zone Asia 2. |
Actually, looking at it there's a few changes from North America in business class:
Short-haul: 25K -> 30K Southern South America - 95K -> 110K Europe 1 - 90K -> 110K Europe 2 - 105K -> 115K |
My 2013 decision to stop pursuing status and points is looking better every day.

Flights intra-Asia in premium cabins are very expensive, so while it's not a great change, it's still an acceptable/mediocre retail CPM.
Keep in mind you can simply get AS miles by applying for a Canadian credit card and spending in $C whereas Aeroplan gutting the Intra-Asia award to such unreasonable level will cause informed customers to reconsider their commitment to Aeroplan. All things considered, if intra-Asia award is a big deal to you, dump your Aeroplan credit cards and get a MBNA Alaska Air MasterCard and/or SPG AMEX. |
The website is still not allowing me to book one-way intra-Europe or one-way intra-Asia...

Revised mileage levels Effective December 15, 2015, we will be implementing some changes to the mileage levels required for flight rewards. Similar to the current one-way flight rewards departing from North America, we will be introducing one-way Fixed Mileage Flight Rewards at just 50% of the roundtrip miles required for flights between international destinations. For details consult the Reclassified Travel Zones chart. |

Definitely not happy!:td:
(though as others as mentioned, it could have been even worse) 10 years later, the Aeroplan crowd is still the same sheep I remember. Easy to please and appease, no wonder Aeroplan can afford these ridiculous inflation at such amazing pace every other year. |
Geographically it does make more sense now, and the Europe devaluation was less than I expected, but that intra Asia 1 devaluation is steep...wow
Minor price increases on mini rtw unless you use HKG as the destination, but based on new rules might as well use Perth as turnaround Edit: actually, India and the Maldives might be better |
As a point of clarification -
Do these changes only to come into play based on your date of booking rather than your flight dates? i.e. if I booked a flight today for dates after December 15, 2015, I assume the current mileage levels apply? Thanks |
