What happened
- Most flight awards will cost 10% to 20% more.
- One specific route category sees an increase of up to 67% (specifically 66.67% for 60,000 to 100,000 miles on 7,001+ distance between Atlantic and Pacific).
- Some short-haul and specific long-haul routes see decreases (e.g., 0-4,000 miles between North America and Atlantic drops from 35,000 to 32,500). The changes affect awards between North America (Canada, US, Mexico, Caribbean), Atlantic (Europe, Africa, Middle East, India), and Pacific (Asia, Australia, New Zealand).
