Malaysia Airlines INSANE Devaluation Of Enrich Miles

If there is an award for the most devalued frequent flyer programme, I reckon Malaysia Airlines would win it in a heartbeat!

Many airlines’ have made it ‘more expensive’ to redeem award travel but I have not come across one that has almost doubled the points required for every award seat. Malaysia Airlines used to have a very generous programme but has recently changed its award structure. It does baffle me why an airline which has only recently started to rebuild its’ image would want to almost punish its most loyal customers when it should be rewarding them.

As an example, a one-way award seat which used to cost 35,000 miles (Economy) and 55,000 (Business) is now… I am speechless.

Why why why??? Is that how you treat your most-loyal frequent flyers by devaluing our points drastically?

FURIOUS.

Flew Cathay Pacific's new business class on their A321Neo (adorable "mini racoon" nickname?). Huge upgrade from their older domestic seats! The wider, comfy seats impressed me. But the star was the recline. Unlike some airlines (think budget carriers), it wasn't just a footrest and lean back. This seat reclined like a rocking chair, distributing weight evenly and giving great back support – perfect for shorter flights!

However, Business Class appeared full, likely due to VIPs and media accompanying Dr. Ahmet Bolat, the Chairman of Turkish Airlines. The entire Business Class section was reserved for VIPs.
