This implies that there was value to begin with...

TLV-JFK in J on partner seems to have gone from 80,000 to 85,000

It'll keep the same value as always, .9%.

Most ppl using their points use it in a 1point>1cent equivalency.

I think it was 85k before

You might be right.

 It seems they only did it for European routes, NYC-TLV I can still find partner award for 75000 RT, NYC-SOUTH AMERICA is still 50000 RT.
They did stop all specials a while back on Delta award, as they used to have to certain destinations, so maybe they increased partner award that it should be more in line with their awards.
The question is, which part is the mistake,  as it doesn't make sense to raise prices at this time, and since it's not across the board, so let's hope the increase is temporary.
Wishful thinking....

The separation of SkyMiles contracts probably doesn't allow them to devalue it further anymore - it would be hurting SkyMiles for the benefit of DL. This is their last chance for a while.

How does it makes sense that by the same partner it was only raised from US-European routes and not US-Middle east/African routes.
It's almost the same amount for a ticket to Europe as to TLV/Cairo, it used to be a difference of 12500 miles, now it's only 2500.

Wouldn't it be better to keep mum about TLV, especially with HC potential? Aren't you calling for them to close the loophole? Wouldn't it be better to remain silent on that one but try to get the story elevated to the financial and mainstream media on how they are devaluing an asset they just mortgaged!

And I guess the reasons it's Skypesos rather than Skyhrivni is simply due to the way it slips off the tongue, but given the performance and manipulation of the TRL maybe Skylira is appropriate.

Probably an oversight going to be corrected anyway. May as well take advantage while it exists.

How do we draw the lender's attention to this? (Not the oversight, but the devaluation).

It's not just an oversight for just TLV, they didn't changed things for Latin America, Africa, Asia. It looks more as just for US-European routes.
