Good Virgin Atlantic news

No need to rehash it in detail, but in short, 25k RT in economy to the US w/ the previously lowered YQ charges, along with a much more favorable cancellation policy.

Is Virgin Atlantic the only award program that is sweetening the program for frequent fliers?
It's refreshing and I hope some follow suit

A spoonful reduction in the amount of miles followed by a heaping amount of bitter YQ... Hardly Mary Poppins.

But their YQ was also recently decreased by a nice amount.
25k miles and around $450 or so is a nice price to London. Especially cuz these miles aren't worth much otherwise.

I read yesterday that BA may be reducing YQ on economy tickets.

240.00 GBP=377.36 USD
And $186 of that is APD and tax.

Even better than my quick calculation.
Is their economy product any better than the US carriers?
