Of the common transpacific sale fare classes on Qantas:
  • O class will earn ½RDM/EQM and ¼ EQP.
  • N and Q classes earn zip.

The good news is that most of these current sale fares book into O class.

Here's how to find the booking class:
  • Do a dummy booking, but do not complete it.
  • At some stage you will see "Total Price = " with a figure.

  • Click on the dollar amount and a pop up window should appear. In it will be the base fare and tax total.
    Price Breakdown
    Adult
    Fare 1 x 459.00
    Charges/Taxes 271.73
    Total Price 730.73 = $730.73 (USD)
  • Record the base fare ($459 in the example).
  • Look the base fare up on Expert Flyer, KVS or try to do a fare search using ITA. (http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/)
  • Match the base fares and you are very likely to have found the correct fare code.
In the example I used, the fare bases is OQF2A, so it does, indeed, book into O class.
