This is to let you know that we will be changing certain aspects of the netAirspace membership model. Hopefully there will be something in here for everyone.

tl;dr: Ultimate and First unchanged but getting better, paid Business goes away at the end of the month, permanent Business get discounted First, Economy gets better.
______________________________________________________________________





Both First Class and Ultimate membership are unchanged.

As we add new features to netAirspace, the majority of them are likely to be First- and Ultimate-only, so these memberships will keep getting better.
______________________________________________________________________



Paid Business Class:

After 30th June 2016, we will no longer offer upgrades to Business Class, for money or for netAirspace Miles.

If you are currently enjoying paid Business Class membership, have no fear. Your Business Class membership will continue as normal until it expires; you'll then revert to Economy Class membership.

Should you choose to upgrade to First Class while you still have Business Class, your Business Class membership will be frozen for as long as you have First Class. If your First Class membership should expire, you'll revert to Business Class. You'll then use up your remaining Business Class membership.

Permanent Business Class:

If you were with us before we introduced the membership model, we gave you permanent Business Class membership. Permanent is just that, permanent. Your Business Class membership remains unchanged, and will not expire.

As an additional thank-you for being with us from the start, we're going to give you a discount on one-month and one-year upgrades to First Class.

Unlike [insert any airline here], we aren't planning to make Economy worse. Actually we're going to give you stuff:

• Economy Class members will get full posting access to the public forums.
• Economy Class members will get access to the same preset avatars as Business Class.
• We'll also give Economy Class members access to basic photo albums.

So, that's the plan.

There are quite a few things to change, some of which will need more work than others. So you'll see these changes being implemented gradually over the next few weeks.

The last thing to happen will be the ending of paid Business Class at (or slightly after) the end of the month. The discount for permanent Business members will involve changes in the same parts of the code, so that's likely to happen at the end of the month too.

If you want another year of Business Class, grab it while you still can.

The work to put all this in place is now finished, somewhat later than planned.

As of now, we aren't offering any more Business Class memberships, for money or Miles. (The last one went through while we were finishing up the last of this work!) Only First Class and Ultimate memberships are available.

Those of you with permanent Business Class now have a special discounted rate for paid upgrades to First Class. The current sale price is actually slightly less than this, but things are set up so that you'll always get the lower of (a) your discounted rate or (b) any sale price.

The sale will run for a few more days, so if you want a cheap membership, grab it fast!
