This is very general. Each FFP gives you miles according to the distance flown, the airline and the BOOKING CLASS. I've seen booking classes for Economy ranging from ZERO miles (some really cheap AZ fares) to 150% of distance flown (YBM on OK). Similarly, business class miles can be anywhere between 125% and 300% of distance flown.
Bottom line, always check who you're flying with and the booking class (and not class of service)...
