A ticket with fare class A is not a Saga ticket. It used to be a premium economy fare, and now it's just a regular economy seat. Lots of outdated FI information floating around--even Seatguru still hasn't updated to reflect the loss of Economy Comfort.
AS/FI redemption charts have been aggressively devalued over the last few years to the point that earning AS miles on FI is largely pointless except on high-fare tickets.
