I'm glad I'm CO Plat now, last year as 1K.. As CO Plat, it will cost 80K to redeem UA/Star business to Europe. I think (hope) CO is done with their changes for now. Here are my comments on this change on FT: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10630582&postcount=409 Thanks for the summary, Lucky.

One more thing, i don't think domestic award costs should go up just because tickets prices has gone up. The way i think of it, the cost of getting miles has gone up because of fare increases so each mile should naturally be worth more, as long as the ratio hold constant, there's no need for an increase. Last thing, Lucky, since you're a NW Plat Elite now, why don't you give us your two cents on NW/DL changes when they start comming out.
