I don’t know if there are therefore 2 F bucket ‘levels’ or 2 A bucket ‘levels’. All quite strange and unusual: in J and Y there are more buckets than ‘fare types’.
Yes but that's pretty much itreleirrewhen talking about partner earning I believe as they look purely at fare bucket. As such if it was a "cheap" ticket it's almost certainly an A fare.

300% means 300% of the great circle distance, rather than EK's region based chart which is close to the great circle distance but not exact.
