Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus - mileage plus credit for TG flight

Will I get 100% credit for a "group" fare? I never saw my ticket, only my boarding pass with a Y fare, so I don't know the ticketed class.

thanks

get your TA to give you a printout of the original PNR. That should mention the fare class your ticket was booked into and you can look up the miles you will get for the flight. Usually only the V&W fare classes earn 50%, the rest earn full miles.

I do not know what the fare class was. Perhaps I will call and try to find out. The UA site just states 100% for economy on TG, without fare class details.

I have taken a W class flight on TG 2 months back and choose to credit to UA MP. Got full credit (100%) of the mileages for the sector.

Me to, but be warned.

Especially the words: "However, G, V, and W booking classes are no longer eligible for accrual on Thai Airways."

F.R.

UA's mileage plus is a bad choice to collect TG flight credits with.

Actual miles are awarded to UA's MP, but collect with AC or TG (to name a few) and you collect 500 miles for each flight.

IIRC I only got 351 on UA from BKK-CNX.

Oh wow, that´s 149 miles `cheated` on you, but those 416 miles BKK-HKT helped me maintain my 1k-status.

So it´s rather in the eye of the beholder, right? ;)

Only important if you finished the year at 100,416 miles. :D :cool: most people don't cut it that close to the 100,000 mile mark. ;)



I also have status on AC, collecting 47,000 with them last year. I collect the non-UA metal flights to the other program. This year thinking of collecting my non-UA flights on TG or LH... I still have a few days to choose.

I get my 1K on UA metal only. Fly 100,000 collect 200K+ bonuses. My only point was that it's not in the best intrest to collect TG flights on UA. Feel free to dis :cool: agree

This used to be the case but it seems now in 2006 that I am getting 500 miles per TG flight.

Hey, you are right! Just double-checked my statement, and saw the 500 miles for the short flights. Didn´t realize before. Thanks for mentioning :).

But for NZ flights credited to ROP, you still only get actual miles - at least that was the case in early Aug and before. :(
