But now, airlines have devalued their miles by raising the number of miles needed for award seats, and by reducing the number
of award seats available.
When booking mileage award tickets with your frequent flier miles you may discover that the airline limits the number
of award seats available, making it difficult to find space for an entire family on the same flights.
However, if you check British Airways's award availability for the same route, it most likely has a good number
of award seats available, no?
Airlines can change the value of your points by requiring more or fewer for a free flight or changing the number
of award seats available.
