I have to say if you can drive a car, that table shouldn't be much harder to take in. You don't even need a uni degree to read it.
Then again, I've also read the table from Air New Zealand Airpoints... even after they deconstructed Economy into 5 different classes.
I can vouch that the method is not simpler than before (now you have to remember a whole bunch of magic numbers rather than just calculating the mileage), but to all those claiming "my head is cracking from trying to read the table" or "I'm going to top myself before I finish reading this", get a grip, seriously.
For those who thought ASAs were here forever, get real. [post=788339]This post[/post] doesn't denote anything meaning they would be around forever, and construing it as such was ill-guided and deluded, and frankly those of you calling out "lies, lies, damned lies" on this should have a look in the mirror if you want to see a straw man. And before you think me stupid - I was at that lunch, so I know what was communicated.
As for everyone going - see you later. Don't let the door hit you in the backside as you leave.
No, I don't work for Qantas, I don't have Qantas shares, and I don't even have any noted status with Qantas. So I'm just rolling with the punches and seeing what this means overall. If that changes how I fly, so be it.
I guess this should mean less "cheap" Platinums in the F Lounge. Due to Qantas points being harder to get and no status earn now, I wish this also meant Classic award prices dropping a bit.
