Found 'em - didn't have the min stay reqt met. Thanks.

My flight was LHR-TLV; it couldn't have been LHR-JFK for AA credit, remember?

I was looking 21+ days out.

KVS -- I saw the wiki re BA, but I need to know what AA credit I'll get. Is it the same?

If AA had not updated their internal earning tables yet, there is a chance that you will get credited an incorrect amount of miles. You will then need to contact AADV so that they can fix it...

T & E are definitely WT+ fare buckets and both earn WT+ miles on BA so I think AA has simply failed to update it's earning table - the fare code change is relatively recent.

I can't confirm that they post correctly to AA because I put all my BA miles in my BAEC account. My best suggestion is that you send an email to Advantage customer service and get them to confirm their mistake, then keep the email in case they refuse to give you the miles after your trip.

Barring someone reporting direct experience getting AA credit for these fares (on non-TA flights, thanks ), I agree that an email to AAdvantage CS is the best way to go.

I would not risk assuming that they would adjust; if they post in accordance with the terms listed on the website in the earnings table, they may not adjust them since there would be nothing to fix

update...

I emailed AAdvantage customer service last night (11pm PDT). I got a "real" response at 630am PDT today - but all it did was point me to the aa.com page with the bad data, and note that some partner fares still don't accrue full mileage. I wrote back at 9am, describing the error in more detail and also noting that aa.com had "R" as an economy fare when it was now a business fare on BA. At 933am, I got my 2nd reply -- thanking me for bringing it to their attention, acknowledging that their data was out of date, and promising to correct it.

The only downside is that I called BA this morning, and my WT+ is a "T" fare, so it was always going to accrue at 100%+10%. So, this was my good deed for FT for the day, I guess...

Bumping this thread.

Have anyone used E-class tickets recently? Where they actually credited 25% or 110%? The website still says low economy (25%) but I do think I have read that they post according to traveller plus.

Thank's for any update

Check with CO FF - AFAIK, no one knows for sure yet:

BA fare codes on AA -- is aa.com correct?

Yes it posts as WTP - the itin in the OP posted fine for me in January. AA confirmed that thier Advantage systems show this as WTP - the website is still wrong. I got 110% EQP and Miles - and bonus miles as it was before BA pulled their bonus.

Great news. Have an upcoming trip in Y/E on BA in a few weeks and wouldn't really like 25%.

The amazing thing is that the website is still wrong.

Thank's

BA updated their fares in November 07 and it has still not been updated by AA . I e-mailed Customer Service in February where they confirmed that BA had changed their fare structure. But they at the same time refered to the aa.com site where the error was obvious. (Do they see the same thing as we do?)

I haven't taken the time to ask again, but I was about to send screenshots and printed notes to them to have them understand the issue - but I have been too busy trying to get my Finnair flights posted to my AAdvantage Account.

Hopefully they will update the website soon. You can just wonder how many other errors there are when it comes to partners? Finnair has changed their structure again (and that is not refelected on the site either).

And, amazingly enough, yesterday aa.com was updated for British Airways reflecting booking class R as Business and booking class E as World Traveller Plus.

AA have also updated earnings with SN Brussels Airlines. And that within 2 weeks after SN actually changed their fare structure.
