However, BR doesn't use Z code for its business class, hence cowtool inferring 0 SQM. If you call into AC reservation, you can find out which BR class this ticket maps into, and you should be able to use that to calculate the SQM you will earn. I doubt it would be 0.
That said, according to AP chart, all eligible BR business classes (C, J, D) only earn 125% SQM, so you probably better off getting 150% by going through ICN.
Yeah, I was wondering about this too. When I initially booked a few months ago, the AC codeshare was roughly $1000 cheaper than booking lowest business with EVA. I found this odd because it was direct TPE-YYZ, so only BR metal. Is there some intuition as to how this would map to BR? Understood there may be no definitive answer.
