Promo Awards July 2018
Hi
here they are
https://www.flyingblue.pl/en/flights/promo-rewards
this month west indies , asia and africa are the highlights but north/south america are also there
Since the recent changes about miles , how does the dynamic prices look like for you ?
For me not that bad ! But i noticed an increase of prices for some destinations like DXB
Question , how does the option Share&Fly works with the FB amex ?

It was removed from all the websites and I asked FB about how to do but they haven't replied yet.
I noticed at the bottom of the last Amex statement that they say to call customer services for any Share&Fly transfer.

Honestly iam checkin now and its not always true , it is per case
Change 3: dynamic pricing of award tickets (on AF/KL/HV)
Another change will be that award tickets will have dynamic pricing, e.g. an award AMS-JFK could be more expensive than an award DUS-AMS-JFK. This is also in line with change 2, as flights from AMS are also more expensive than flights from DUS (you also earn more miles).
This also implies that we will see a difference in the number of miles required per flight. For example, an award from continental Europe to continental USA will currently set you back 25,000 miles for a one-way in economy. It does not matter if you fly to LAX or NYC, the number of miles is currently fixed. Under the new proposition, this will change. The cheaper flight (in this example: NYC) will see a slight reduction in the number of miles required, whilst LAX will see a slight increase in the number of miles required.
Furthermore, there will be a standard base level for the number of miles required per destination. As the standard revenue price increases, so does the number of award miles.

Between the new flying blue website which doesn't show the amount of miles, the AF site which is not updated (it still displays Promo Awards of June) and without the possibility to search on time frame (+/- 3 days), it's getting harder and harder to get the information.
For whoever might be interested : 76k miles for R/T between CDG and SEZ in Business is quite a deal I think...

Hi here they are https://www.flyingblue.pl/en/flights/promo-rewards (...)?
Ho Chi Minh City, Tan Son Nhat (SGN)-50%
Cabin
Business
Travel dates from 1 Sep 2018
to 31 Oct 2018
Clicking on "book now" takes you to the normal booking page. I entered random dates 9-30 September and got 150.000+ each way. Promo????
Because the link is at af.pl, I tried ex WAW. Same dates generated a "no availability" answer.
This new FB is pathetic. What are they looking for?

dont forget that prices are dynamic , and depends on the day and origin you may not always find promo awards seats available
also now you cant have a calendar view as before (even +/- 3 days) , so everytime you need to restart your search
same sh*t as always
from zrh to auh you can get tickets from 18,5k
