Yes saw a post saying after their devaluation the cost of redeeming a flight went up as high as 139%.
This would make sense if these Airlines were burning cash.

Because majority of them can't afford such exorbitant prices and others would prefer rail or road as a much cheaper and viable option

The US miles game is on another level. It's so easy to earn points there using various welcome benefits that are offered with CC. This was bound to happen. Awardhacker will need a big reset lol. So many devaluations have happened lately. BA,Virgin, Etihad.

That's the nature of the Indian market. Loyalty is not a commonplace thing here. Jaha 10 rupee kam milega, log udhar chalenge.

Virgin devalued it's ANA awards. So many EU and US routes had very attractive rates for the Room.
