This is not me being naive as I fully expect the YQ to remain. I am curious if this means the BA vig will be eliminated.

(2) There's no mention of surcharges (YQ) on awards. I think this is a new restriction, likely to eliminate people using the stop over to add a leg for another journey months later. (1) On Asia and Europe awards, the stop-over is now limited to 14 days.

After looking at the press release and the updated charts on the AS website, I noticed two things: I am definitely looking forward to being able to use multiple partners on awards. WillTravel4Food use our miles, this poses minimal cost increases. Everyone has different needs, preferences and routes, and so it’s totally understandable that for some AS remains the best option and for others the deval is a big deal.įor the way me and Mrs. Ultimately, everyone needs to do what is best for them.

Maybe going full free agent and weening myself off the desire to have status altogether (other than UA MM). And then the game will change again, and who knows what is going to be the best option for me. If I move my “loyalty” over to AA, I fully expect that to be for a few years. And if I credit to AA, I may leave some miles on the table due to likely better earnings for the distance based AS program. Ironically, what likely isn’t going change for me is that many of my domestic flights are going to be on AS (and UA) since AA doesn’t have a strong west coast network for where we are going. This deval is not the reason for me to move, and the option to move means I am less upset over the changes than I might otherwise be. And with those LPs come redeemable miles (and I already had a pile from past years), so for now I might also enjoy somewhat more affordable awards. So I actually started dabbling with AA in early October, jumpstarted by the Hyatt/AA fast track. What appealed to me is that I no longer waste the elite qualifying nights I earn from hotel stays - I just get airline status instead of useless Hyatt Explorist.

And one source of relatively affordable AS EQM seems to be drying up with DE’s increase in J fares (perhaps understandable after they spend $$$ on their new aircraft). So for those AS flyers thinking they will run to the greener grass over at AA, just be aware, they will have a devaluation at some point too (perhaps sooner than later)As someone who is currently actively considering that move, for me the ability to earn status by getting something for partner activity that I would be doing anyway (staying at hotels, renting cars, buying stuff) is really the appeal, since I struggle every year with reaching at least MVPG due to AS’ short routes. but virtually every south america, europe and africa route benefits from this change if you live in east coast, which is insulting to anyone who worked hard for their MVP status in west coast. JFK-NRT J goes down from 85k to 75k as well, but stopover is destroyed because it is so close to the 7000 mile threshold. But a lot of other routes are actually cheaper now from eastern seaboad, barring Asia. Which is patently ridiculous for a program of a US-based carrier with a nonexistent international route network of its own.Yeah, CX is nuked but it was so low that it was bound to get annihilated if they decide to go this route. Really, a few select Asian cities reachable from Seattle are not “terribly” affected, but pretty much every other US-originating international itinerary is destroyed. Add any stopover that’s over 2k miles away from HKG and now you’re looking at 130, so over double? F is insane, 70k to 130 nonstop, 195 with stopover? East coast keeps getting brought up here but I frankly don’t get why.ĬX J nonstop has gone from 50k to 85k.
