My original ticket showed T class on the booking, now it has changed to Y on my online boarding passes?
Will I get 150% MQM for Y with Delta, or will I just get 100% for T?

AF BPs generally just print Y or J and not the actual booking class. Rest assured, the system will correctly report to the DL systems what fare class you purchased. They can't get seat assignments synced, but they sure can take care of things involving revenue.

Air France boarding passes do not display the booking class of your ticket, but the cabin where you are flying. Your mileage earning, on the other hand, is based on the booking class displayed on your ticket.

but be careful: T on DL is one of the cheapest booking classes. So is V on AirFrance. You may actually, if the flight is AF operated get your miles for the corresponding class on the operating carrier. And if you check V-class on DL ... you may see that. ...?? I had some bad surprises with codesharing issues.

I think it is getting a bit better now but in the not-so-distant past I have had exactly the same experience as chrissxb: i.e. for example, would book an AF ticket in N operated by DL and would get 0 miles because the system thought it was DL N which earned 0 at the time. More generally, FB remains hit and miss about crediting flights and I'd recommend to everyone to regularly check statements as at least 10% of my flights are not credited or mis-credited.

Thanks Guys, would have pushed me over the 75,000MQM if it was credited in Y, dam.
Think I should earn with DELTA thankfully as it was a T class fare

I agree about checking with AF, final CDG-DUB leg of a recent trip to China didn't credit and I had to report. Also I cannot remember the last time I had a BLUEBIZ flight that credited automatically!

As far as I know it depends on the codeshare value. Operating carrier does not matter (As long as its a Skyteam member).
So a flight coded as DLxxxx in T will earn miles for T on Delta. Even if operated by AF.
Worst case you keep the BP from the flights and next time you're in Amsterdam you ask them at the Crown lounge to correct it :)

ST is much more sensible than *A alliance in this regard. It baffles me how *A can use the operating carrier's booking class when the passenger cannot readily determine the mapping between marketing carrier's booking classes and operating carrier's booking classes. I flew a BD-coded, LH-operated flight in December, and it was nontrivial figuring out to which *A program I could actually credit the flight. (Settled on NH, which gave me 50% credit. More importantly, I can now search all *A partners on the NH tool without needing to jump through any hoops simply because I've earned some miles in their program.)
