Increase in JP miles needed for redemption
I noticed recently that JP has increased miles needed for overseas sectors e.g. DEL-LHR used to be 27K/54K miles in economy/business but now it is 42.5K
It suddnely devalues the miles by 50%. Have others noticed the same?
Also: redemption charts are very weird. Delhi to Cairo costs you 35K miles (on EY flight) and Amman to Delhi back costs you 46K miles despite it being closer and both flights are on EY and both are through AUH.

I see. Haven't redeemed JP miles for sometime so did not notice.
So are 9W redemptions now (without YQ) better than say *A redemption for the same sector?
