basic mounts at 20,
epic mounts at 40,
flying (improved) at 60,
epic flight unchanged (70)

Also note how basic flyers will be 150% speed instead, but still 60% on land. :O
Also, faction discounts will finally apply to the 1k and 5k flight costs. >.<

Yes, alting just got a lot less painful.

Yet more changes coming: http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=65279.0
2 more mounts (3 if you're a pally), and an upgrade to the squire will let him act like a bank/mailbox/vendor!
That might be enough for me to not buy the vendor-mammoth... but what else would I do with the 15,000g I've been saving? And I'd have all the mammoths but the VoA drop one!

150 seals.... gonna have to start doing full dailies again.

Tomb of Cold Weather Flying
Heirloom
Binds to Account
Requires level 68
Requires Riding (225)

quote from blue post on MMO-champion:
Tome of Cold Weather Flight is actually a new heirloom item planned to go into patch 3.2. At level 80 players can buy this heirloom item from the Cold Weather Flying Trainer in Dalaran for 1,000 gold and send it to an alt of the same realm, faction and account. The tome can be used to learn Cold Weather Flying at level 68, consuming the tome in the process.

Please note this feature is not yet in the newest version of the public test realm patch notes updated today. The item and its functionality are subject to change during the testing process.

Another 3.2 note:

After further discussion, we decided not to remove the rusted and ironbound proto-drake rewards for the normal and heroic Glory of the Ulduar Raider meta achievements when patch 3.2, Call of the Crusade, launches, and currently have no plans to remove them in the foreseeable future. However, we will continue to evaluate the situation and if a decision is made to remove these rewards at any point in the future, we'll provide a one month warning so players will have time to make some final attempts.
