The sad passing of a potential AA status shortcut

[wandering_fred]

It's been a while since I have flown on FinnAir. But I enjoyed the flights and I just never got around to thinking about Australia or SEAsia to Europe. And AA had a mis-direction in their earnings from FinnAir flights. R class earned 150% EQP and 100%EQM.

Take a moment to mourn the passing of this feature. As of 01 Feb 2015 R class now earns (correctly given the fare cost) 100% EQM and 50% EQP when credited to AA.

OTOH, the FinnAir comfort seat (in Y) appears to be getting very good reviews for its extra legroom.

Happy wandering

Fred

Yep I booked AY in R class a month ago and was sad to see this loophole closed. Used it in the past though! The good news remains 100% Eqm in all classes in conjunction with the current sale of <1500 to Europe in summer ex July. Not many in the earning table @ 100% in all classes. Btw I was able to select either economy comfort or exit row seats for free - I chose exits row 41a/L based on reviews.
