But when I look at the points that can be earned on a TG flight on the Aeroplan site - I do not see earning for a W booking class (or V for that matter) for international flights. I may be doing this wrong but by avoiding any fare class that did not earn points internationally we have not been screwed so far.

From the Aeroplan website:


All scheduled flights operated by THAI are eligible*†.

Please refer to the tables below to see how many miles you'll earn based on eligible booking class.
