*A cost gone up? (AP)
What's with the new system (recently)? I try to book a *A flight, YVR-TLV...I get Y prices 130k vs 105k a few weeks ago, and J 185k vs 150k a few weeks ago.....
Is it just me, or have the *A prices gone up? If so, is it just with AP? Again if so, can they do that?

We've not been informed of any change the the STAR chart, though it's long overdue... I made a STAR booking to Europe I last week and the cost was as printed on the chart I've been using for years. Have you checked the actual STAR chart?

K..checked the charts (AC)..still say 105/150/190 (which is what I said originally)...but, in addition, I also noticed that AP's booking engine lists F *A awards at 200k! What's going on here?
UA's awards are 75/115/175...why is it different?
EDIT: Nvm..hehe..that's with UA metal, not *A..UA's *A chart is the same as AP's[list, not actual

...Well now it's acting normal....I don't know what's going.
Some times it gives me strange rates, and other times it's normal...sigh, now I look like an uninformed fool...but I swear, it was doing the wierd award rates before!
