Unlikely. But they may have some seasonal promotion to celebrate S7's joining date. Like a special price in Russia Pass, or XONEX itrinerary involve with Russia. Who knows? or maybe they decide to let it go quietly. The moral side of the story: Do not expect miracles or unexpected...well...sounds like wasteful words but just remember: if it meant to happen it will happen. If not just be thankful they did not rise the price further.

It's worth noting (?) that today's AA/BA/IB joint business plan details show AA charging BA fuel surcharges on redemption tickets acquired with AA miles. This is a major change, and I suspect that shortly the "exemption" for BA fuel fines obtained by buying RTW products through AA's RTW ops will be a thing of the past.
(There are many positive things for AA flyers in the new scheme - 100% earning on BA TATL regardless of economy fare bucket, reinstatement of Plat/EXP bonuses, etc., but the fuel surcharges and punitive mileage expense for cross-metal mileage upgrades - from full fare categories only - are some negatives.)

Yes, all 16 coupons used on expensive routes and a DONE4 ex Australia is good value. But for many people who just need to get to 3-4 places other tickets will almost certainly be cheaper.
