Incorrect. The page shows AC codeshare fare codes for flights operated by LH.
Either FT's English comprehension is rock bottom, or Canadian English has significantly changed since I've moved to the UK, and I wasn't informed.
Therefore, I am going to explain with pictures and lists. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who replies could point out exactly where my logic or interpretation of the English language is failing here. (I'm serious.)
So. Let's load the first link, in my first post, with LH selected as the airline. We get this:
Let's now look at the relevant information, bit by bit:
Indeed this page is for information regarding the accumulation of miles to one's Aeroplan account, on Lufthansa metal flights. Let's continue.
Noting the underlined part, we see that this chart is for
AC-marketed codeshare fare codes, on LH metal, *not* LH fare codes.
The chart itself. It shows the
AC marketed fare codes, and what they'll earn if you credit them to an Aeroplan account. T is listed here as earning 50%, as I stated multiple times.
This image is just to drive home that it is indeed the codeshare fare codes listed, which people seem to have trouble believing/comprehending (?).
Continuing.
OK, so we now know that an AC-marketed codeshare T face code will map to some unknown fare code on LH metal that will earn 50% mileage on Aeroplan, based on the above page and images. We know it must map to something that will earn 50% mileage.
Looking at the mileage accumulation page for LH fare codes on aeroplan.com we see:
We know it'll earn 50%, ergo the T codeshare code must map to one of the codes listed as 50% earning on LH-marketed LH flights, i.e.:
Y, B, M, U, H, Q, V, W, S, T, or L. Great. We now have at least a group of LH fare codes it could possibly map to.
Next, let's look at UA MP's earning for LH-marketed LH flights:
We can see all of the possible LH-marketed LH fare codes will earn at least 50%. So, the strongest conclusion we can make is that
silver_halide's flight will earn at least 50%, but maybe more. That's better than it possibly earning 0%, no?
I've tired to be exceptionally clear here, and I would appreciate it if anyone could point out if I've gone wrong somewhere, or where there is a fault in my logic. If I see replies akin to "no, you're wrong" without any evidence, I am going to assume you haven't read my post fully, or at all.
