Different CX booking class gets you what?
I just booked a flight to HKG on CX. Booking class code is M. I believe this is a standard Economy fare class. What other implications are there for me in terms of upgrades, earning mileage in with this M code? :confused:

It would appear that the important bit to you is that it (an M class fare) will not credit to AA. And except for the exUSA fares H class on CX (which does credit) is normally a bit pricey.
It is a worthwhile exercise reading the FF documentation to understand which fare classes are applicable to your program. Fred |
thanks both for enlightening me, a newbie to the Asia Miles program and a somewhat newbie on FF.
where can i find that FF documentation you mentioned? |
On the websites of the FF programmes!

ONLY Y, B, H, K classes are eligible for mileage upgrades. Good luck |

Economy tickets have the following classes: Y, B, H, K, M, L, V that earns miles. Any other economy classes do NOT. All of these classes earns 100% of your flown miles.
ONLY Y, B, H, K classes are eligible for mileage upgrades. Good luck |

thanks for the info. i'm trying to switch my reservation from a M to at least a K. i'm also trying to study up on what different booking class means. is it me, or are airlines booking class kinda convoluted?
Also, different classes do have differences in small details, but they are mostly logistic differences like how much to pay (or not pay) when you change time, change date, for how long, etc. Not a difference in mileage earned (not CX anyway.) Yes, different airlines have different rules so study up. |

A higher class fare does NOT increase your chance of op-up, op-up is primarily based on FF status. So unless you plan to use mileage upgrade there's really ZERO reason for you to want to spend that extra money to get the K instead of just flying M.

As you are new here, the booking class M or K does not change the number of miles you earn if you use Asiamiles as your FFP, and also if you are new to Asiamiles, your chance of upgrade is basically 0 yes, i'm new to Asiamiles. A relative (either a MCP Diamond or Gold) of mine is graciously "giving" me the miles about to expire in their account to upgrade me to Business Class. Of course, given if I am able to switch to a 'K' class, and CX's availability. |

If it does make a difference than it must be very small. I have purchased H, K fare tickets on my company charge and never got op-up as SL. My first op-up is on L class fare as GO.
