However, make sure you book the Q fare - it's usually ~2k rupees more expensive than the cheapest W fare, but the W fare doesn't earn miles. Q earns 100%.
Totally agree.

This is a real problem. W-fares DO NOT earn miles even with TG!!

If they always buy W-fares for you, then, it may be worth to not fly TG at all, and just focus on 9W.

Unless your travel desk gets you Q or above, dont fly TG.

Another option is ...after ticketing a W-fare through your travel desk, can you possibly call Thai and re-issue in Q-class. Dont know if TG allows that kind of stuff...they may charge a penalty....so, it may not be worth your while.
