All partner biz rewards now 50k and up?
FB used to have pretty cheap business rewards on short-haul flights such as HKG-TPE/LAS-LAX about 15k and up.
Now it looks like all business rewards operated by partner airlines are now 50k and up.
AF&KLM operated flights still showing usual redemption miles. Long-haul biz flights operated by partners still show same redemption miles.
Anyone knows what's going on?

Ben Lipsey has previously said that partner awards are released and priced by partners. So perhaps some kind of a contract update between partners to reflect generally changed pricing. Or FB is taking a bigger cut.

Now it’s 50k. That’s just insane…100K round trip for a narrow body flight that’s an hour and a half and can frequently be purchased for a few hundred $$.
