So, I can't tell...it says SEA EK X/ so I'm thinking it's X class (and yes it's economy) but then I see XXLFRUS? If it's S class I don't want it cuz that'll mean I'll earn 0 miles to Alaska and I don't have a skymiles account or whatever the EK one is called. But I'd need to cancel tonight to be able to get out of it I think to meet a sub 24 hour cancellation window. If it'll earn 50% to AS I want it, but if its 0% no, even if it's somehow 25% I'm cool, like if it's 50% one way and 0% the other. Also the site didn't mention it'll earn 0 miles, in fact it said something like "you'll earn 2000 skymiles" or whatever for this. I know they're not responsible for earning on other programs, but at least in some other experiences I've had like EVA they'll just say "Earns 0%" so you can see in advance.

The other thing that led me to believe this would be X is that TFD was showing the other 2 destinations on sale, Yerevan and Algiers and both of those booked into X, this destination was the third of three on sale, but never showed up on the TFD website, but I thought a fair assumption was it'd book into the same class being part of the same sale.
Go to Fare Lookup or whatever it's called on EF, out in the routings and dates and uncheck validate fares (put in EK and as much info as possible) then in the list of fares find the one matching your fare construction, something like the XXLFRUS, and it'll show the fare bucket in the same row.

EK has no way of knowing that you'll credit to a partner, not how the partner awards miles, they tell you how many miles they award in Skywards. AS has complete autonomy on their mile awards for partner fares. EK doesnt have any paid fares that earn 0 on Skywards.
