To me this looks like a combination of YVR-LHR and LHR-CPT fares; not a YVR-CPT fare.

How do you know how many miles these fares earn? All flights are marketed as BMI flights but operated by AC or SA. AFAIK the fare buckets shown are the BMI fare buckets, not the operating carriers'.

Will the AC operated flights earn 100% miles, or 50% miles. The AC operated flights could very well earn 50% mileage if they map to an AC Tango fare (which now only earns 50% EQM).

While there is a good chance that all these flights will earn 100% miles, there is no guarantee. This is the point of the "rant" thread and why many people are requesting some sort of *A fare mapping matrix.
