As I am going to be tight on my 50,000 this year due to an injury & reduced travel at work, I need all the miles I can get, all while still booking the "cheapest" fare my company dictates.
Any idea how I can tell what fare basis I am booing into? The AP site shows 10%, 50% and 100% fare codes. I assume I won't be in the 100% bucket, but 50 would be better than 10.
Thanks!

From experience I caution you on your fare class. I have flown on TAP (TP) many times either by booking through them, code share with AC , LH and the now defunct Spainair. You are right you have no idea what you’re buying as far as class bucket until the end, so you need to call them and confirm. If you buy their BASIC fare, good luck you may get 10% of miles min 250 or 500 depending on the route. I have found the fares on third party sites cheaper than directly through TP itself. I have decided to not fly TP anymore as its too hard unless you buy the expensive fares and their service is no screaming hell.
