Do you know which booking classes count as "Basic" fares on domestic and European flights, which earn even less than discounted economy?
Thanks!
Both of IAG's Avios programs (IB&BA) are quite stingy on status from economy alone. That said, a single transatlantic being enough for a domestic return is quite nice and provides a very tangible benefit very quickly. Premium economy books as if it were full fare economy.
I have no idea as to which fares go for which as I either need full flex or discount economy.
