ET P Class Mileage Accrual
Hi,
I have a flight booked on ET in J with the fare bucket P. I'm not getting any info on the TK Partner Earning website about the mileage accrual on Miles&Smiles. Does anyone have any info regarding this?
Thanks

Not that Wheretocredit is absolutely definitive, but Ethiopian P is clearly not a fare class that earns miles with partners...

100% certain from personal experience that it earns ZERO miles with Miles and Smiles.
However, ET will let you retro-claim to their own Sheba Miles program even if you have the M&S number on your boarding pass since no miles post to M&S.

Not that many people outside of China use the program, but it can also credit to Phoenix Miles. Unless you live in China and already have a load of Phoenix Miles, then I'd definitely credit to Sheba Miles, it's not a bad program overall though depending on the trip you have booked may take a few more flights credited to redeem anything useful.

Has anything changed, or is it still 0 miles in P class?
Not that is definitive, wheretocredit now says 'P' class earns 100% on TK?!! ET P credit to TK M&S

I can confirm-- I just did a round-trip on P class DEL-ADD and received zero MileagePlus mile credits for the flight. I've never heard of a (discounted) paid biz fare being eligible for zero miles before. Perhaps I have lived in darkness until now??

As you are a newbie, I am answering your question even though you are in the wrong forum. This is the Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles forum. Your case is related to the United MileagePlus forum
I am upset to tell you that P class in Ethiopian wouldn't give you miles on MileagePlus. You could see the relevant mileage charts below.
And yes, there are discounted business fare classes in some other airlines as well that could only earn mileage for their own respective FQTV program. In your case, Ethiopian P could only be credited to ShebaMiles and Air China PhoenixMiles.

Lufthansa P class is equally annoying.

P.S. I thought I posted this info earlier, on another thread?!! Maybe I missed it!!
