"Discounted" economy class fares will garner only 50% on Cathay Pacific's FF programme, AsiaMiles. How they mean by 'discount'? Any code booked on your ticket that does not say Y (on CP, AA , CX, QF) and S (on BA), will onloy get 50% of the total miles flown.

The Global Explorer clearly states that you must book on certain 'sub-classes' so that would mean you will not be getting full mileage on AsiaMiles.

PS - Does anyone know how to get the new Cathay Pacific thread going?
