P business fare bucket YYZ-DEN, UA stock, UA codeshare on AC metal - how many points?
Hi all,
Traveling NA transborder on ticket as above. UA ticket stock on the dreaded P fare bucket that Aegean will "not recognize
" for any points if done with UA. However, not clear on "if on UA" as in this situation is on AC metal (UA codeshare code) and P class in on their plane is book is 200% actual miles!
Can anyone clarify what I will get in terms of miles: no miles (following UA rules) or 200% (following AC rules).
Thanks,
PC

IIRC UA P mapped long time to AC Z.
AC P seems to have been a low economy (tango) booking class, which was changed a few monts ago... Now it figures as business booking class, but not available on the whole network (mostly international routes outside North America)...
You might check this threads to get more information or search by google:

AC codeshare TK metal
I did not want to start a new thread:
We are planning to book K Class, AC6680(TK Metal) from YYZ-IST.
Now will this give us 50% mileage as per A3 earning chart for A3 accumulation?

This is how it posts to AE: http://www.aircanada.com/shared/en/c...ileage_tk.html
This might be old but it might be a guide.

Basically, your question was how does AC codeshare K map on to TK metal? Well, based on how it posts on AE, you could probably figure out how it will map on to TK.
This chart kinda does that. K is the lowest on AC's chart which gives zero, so I would make the assumption that the lowest fare class on A3's chart gives zero.
But hey, if you disagree that's fine. You can tell us how it all works out afterwards.

Your question is not confusing. If you book in K class an AC-coded flight operated by TK, you should expect to earn according to P class on the TK table.

P class is full of pitfalls, let us concentrate on where P equals some business class fare. For example, P on LH 0% accrual, P on AC 200% accrual on A3. LH P mapped to AC P on my last trip in November 2015.
