New redemption pricing for Etihad awards, with ‘around 70% of routes seeing a decrease’. Elite status changes will include elimination of segments as a means of qualifying; a new top tier Diamond level that requires $150,000 in spend on top of qualifying miles; and new choice benefits for all elites.
For some time I’ve considered Etihad’s 44,000 mile one way business class award on Royal Air Maroc to be one of the 10 best deals in all of travel.
However several reports are people are being charged now per segment instead of one way. That means it’ll be possible for some Royal Air Maroc awards to have gone up to 88,000 miles one way.
