Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - SAA Voyager - list of fare classes for partner earning?

South Africa is soon to become a major travel destination for me and I have recently been looking at the Voyager FFP, especially because of its numerous partners outside the Star Alliance (Emirates, especially).

While general information on partners and their mileage credit is relatively easy to find (https://www.flysaa.com/voyager/Programme_Guide/content/earning/earning_frame.html), I am having a hard time finding specific information on what booking class earns what (i.e. booking class V on LH earns XX% of distance flown).

Is there a page anywhere where this information has been published? It would really help in evaluating whether the programme is worth it.

Many thanks for any and all replies!

-AlexI've never seen SAA publish a list of comprehensive fare codes and what they earn for each partner - but your supplied link provides the information for Full Fare Y, and F & C - any discounted economy fares will be as per the "Additional Information" - there may still be codes that don't earn anything. I always found the DC how to earn list (http://www.flybmi.com/bmi/src/html/diamondclubhowtoearnmiles.html) as a good reference for what you might expect on Voyager

Voyager aren't a particularly good FFP in my opinion (especially in terms of redemptions), and I think you would much better off continuing to credit to DC. You certainly don't get any additional miles crediting to Voyager than you wouldn't get on DC (in fact on Voyager most airlines C tickets get 125% miles, where as on DC it would be between 150-200% & First on Voyager is pretty pathetic at only 150%). If you are worried about the future of DC - then I suspect M+M would win out in a comparison with Voyager.

Unfortunately, I don't often fly paid C or F, so that part of the consideration does not apply to me. One benefit of Voyager vs. M&M that I see is that the former allows one-way awards like Diamond Club does, which I have found to be very handy on more than one occasion. I also like the lower threshholds for *G status at Voyager vs. M&M (50K for SA Gold vs. 100K for LH SEN).

I think it's pretty poor that Voyager really has not published their detailed earning levels - I'm not a fan of booking a ticket and hoping for the best.
