What I would like to know is this -

As far as ROP goes, AC flights that are booked into W class should get 100%. LH flights that are booked into W class should get 50%.

So what happens when I book flights on the AC website that uses LH metal, but has an AC flight number? Its booked into W and is part of an international ticket. My take is that if its an AC flight number, you should get AC credit, so as long as when its booked its booked as say...AC1111 rather than LH1111 it should be ok.

Can anybody enlightnen me on this?

Cheers,

What happens is that the FFP, in your case ROP, 'maps' the booking class on the ticket, AC 'W', into what they consider the corresponding booking class on the operating carrier, LH. There is unfortunately a considerable amount of voodoo in this. I have no personal experience as to whether AC 'W' --> LH 'W'; it may or it may not. You could probably get more pertinent advice in the ROP forum.

cheers,

Henry
