Flying Blue (Air France, KLM, and Other Partners) - Questions about MU coded AF operated flights

I booked a MU ticket from TPE to CDG via PVG.

TPE and PVG are MU flights.

But PVG and CDG are MU codeshared flights (MU8661 and MU8662) but operated by Air France, AF111 and 112.

I have some questions and please help me to clarify:

1. The booking class of all flights are N.
How much percentage of Delta Skymiles or FB miles can I earn from these two MU coded AF operated flights?

2. I tried to use AF and KL website's 'manage my booking' to get preassigned seats for PVG/CDG flights but it did not work. May I know how to do seat assignments for these two segments?

Thanks a lot.

the flights are generally cheaper, but I suspect the service is worse in Business class - seats even more wedgie and less horizontal than AF/KLM so I was never tempted.

Anyone experienced these codeshares?

We shouldn't assume Chinese = bad: I flew Hainan once and had a full flat bed with a feather duvet and top quality service. Sadly it was only Shanghai to Beijing.

OP's flight PVG-CDG is operated by AF, only marketed by MU.

And, I'm going to go out a limb and guess that N class is not business class. AF Y is rather cozy (on the 777; PVG might be operated by 330s).

May I ask how much percentage of miles will be earned by FB account?

50% or 25% only?

My flight is MU8661 (MU ticket with N class), operated by AF.

Thank you a lot.

You can find this out on the FB website. Just go to FB Partners and look up MU.

Although there are booking classes that do not earn anything. As an example I flew MU (coded and operated) PEK-SHA last week which was on an X-fare and thus no earnings.

But my flights are MU coded, operated by AF.

I need to see MU or AF earning rate by FB rules?

In this case MU.

Basically you paid for your ticket to them, so it is their fare and related code. MU "bought" a seat on your behalf on an AF flight, according to their mutual agreement of which you won't find the details/price and thus won't find any booking class.

I am booked in W on the same route next week and it won't earn anything :(

Thank you for your professional explanation and clarification.
