I just want to know is this KE First class or KE Prestige class. Could someone please clarify this for me and tell me which class of service is D on KE?
I am sorry, whilst confirming that D on KE is Prestige Business class, to tell you that according to SkyTeam Websites, this class is not eligible for earning any SkyTeam miles at all. Repeat, according to, for example, the KLM Website, you will not earn any AF-KL FlyingBlue points (under SkyTeam rules). None.
I am booking a Europe-Indonesia fare right now on KE, and I have had to reassure myself that their cheaper published fare is in O as in Ottawa and not in D as in Disrespect-for-passengers.
D is often used for low-revenue Business fare classes, such as Round The World. Elsewhere on Flyertalk (I cannot recall where), I have noticed people complaining that on a D class RTW SkyTeam ticket, the KE segments have to be flown in Economy. Maybe that has changed, but, believe me, it turned me so much off SkyTeam that I have given up tracking them.
Hope you find more positive news.
