Looks like an Update to me :

Upgrade Awards on Air India:
Flying Returns members can also redeem miles for upgrading the eligible paid class tickets in domestic and international network of Air India. The miles required for economy to business class upgrade are 75 % of normal economy class redemption miles for that sector and for Business to First upgrade 75 % of normal business class redemption miles for that sector.

Sorry for the confusion. Was it not 100% earlier and now 75% miles requirement for upgrade ? I may be wrong. :)

Ok. My mistake. :p

The FFP program is undergoing some major changes. I attempted to login today and right in front of me was a set of questions that would remind one of the school exams. NEVERENDING!

OTP verification for both Mobile & Email, uploading photo ID, etc, by the looks of it a major re-schuffle.

And yes, they have added 'Travel Points', which I assume is someting related to Tier progression process.

Thanks
Are we talking domestic or international? I think only the "Get UpFront" offer where you upgrade by paying between 4K and 7K has a fare class restriction (V and above). Upgrading to J using miles should be possible in all fare classes. I was booked on a low fare class BLR-DEL and managed an upgrade using miles. Had to call the call center.

I tried this recently over phone, but the call center agents say it cannot be done. You have to cancel your existing ticket and buy a new one; no matter if the original one is purchased through OTA or AI itself.
Never had this problem ever!

Maybe they're just trying to scope out dormant members? :D

But no, I must remain optimistic !

The website is also broken now. Shows the OTP verification screen, but does not send OTPs to either phone or email.

Yeah. Also - if i tried logging in again - and it took me to a screen to update details. But it threw some error again saying duplicate crediantials. Guess we need to give AI some time to fix the backend.
