Weird, I didn't see anything about that. The only changes I saw were on the United side. its no longer a mileage fee for economy. Its all free. 1st and business class are 65% off ZED fare for domestic and 50% off ZED fare for international. I'm pretty sure thats how it was worded, I'll probably edit this *after* I go look it up. doh!
Lame! I just logged on and saw what you're talking about. bah!
This is what the United side is like now.
