fewer miles
During our recent changeover from points to miles, the conversion rate was set at a level to ensure that the majority of our diamond club members were not penalised in any way.
However, there are a few flights where the number of miles now required is more than the old points equivalent. We have therefore agreed to honour the previous reward levels for flights between the UK and Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Dublin, as well as flights between London Heathrow and Manchester.
The reduced levels have been set at 9000 miles for an economy return flight, which is the exact equivalent of our previous level of 300 points, using the agreed conversion level of 1 destinations point = 30 destinations miles. Appropriate levels have been set for one way flights, flights in business and for children under 12 years old.
We're sure that you'll appreciate that overall our members will benefit from the increased ease of earning rewards and status levels under the new miles programme.
If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please contact our service centre to check availability before making your reservation. All bookings must be made by 31 July 2003, and all travel must be completed by 31 December 2003.

sjharte - when did you receive this information? I've heard nothing of it, and being *G and based in DUB, I would have expected something.
