Good morning, and welcome to today's community discussion thread! Today's posts will appear here throughout the day, but this thread is for going off-topic. Did you love/hate something about today's coverage? Are you tracking other news I missed? Or, do you just have a general question about rewards travel? This is the place for your wandering thoughts.

Daily threads stay open for a week, so it's never too late to jump into a recent conversation.
The day has come... FlyingBlue apocalypse (introduction of new Light, Standard and Flex awards) is now here... Ironically, I was tracking a J award itinerary, yesterday (before the changes) 155K Standard + $402, this morning (since the changes) down to 120K Standard + $402, or 151K Flex $95. So, maybe it's not all bad. Or, what I found was just a fluke. Anyone else finding anything interesting here yet?
@1990_ Thanks for bringing that up! Not noticing anything on my end that's different than expected, but I was curious if we'd see some sort of an improved availability dump after the changes. All the itineraries I've been monitoring still have the same general pricing. But hey, if pricing went down for an itinerary you were looking at, that's awesome!
LHR and UK airports are at a standstill...
@Jeremy, I love that we can now see when people like our comments, and that we can edit comments. Huzzah! One more suggestion - can you make it so we can save to our profile articles we like and want to refer back to? Perhaps a trip review that's pertinent to a trip someone is planning, or I would like to save for future reference today's article about TSA pre-check having access to terminals without flying, so that I can remember to make use of it in the future when my parents come visit.
@jallan Yes! I've been looking into saving posts for members, and building itineraries for specific airports/airlines! Saving posts will likely come first.
