Premium Economy A class
I'm looking at booking an AF premium economy ticket AMS-DEL and it is coming out in A class and showing no mils earned for this fare on the AF website.
Is this an error? Seems pretty poor to not award any miles for a 1200 euro airfare!!

Yes it is a mistake - it is because A bucket is used both for awards and lowest paid tickets. On long haul paid A, you will earn 100% miles.

I can start a new thread if needed, but I have a question about A fare ticket in Premium Economy.
It says on Flying Blue you can upgrade W and S class fare tickets with miles, but A is not listed. I was hoping to upgrade from Premium Economy to Business with miles. I paid cash for my A ticket (no miles used).
Am I out of luck?

You can only get an upgrade offer to business class with A fare at online check-in or in e-mail (so far, out of 5 flights I got it twice for around 400 EUR).

Not only: at airport check-in also, even if you OLCI before.
