Hi, I want to make sure I understand PQP earning on partner airlines. I'm looking at IAD to BKK and have the option of flying ANA in N Class for $2,085 and a mileage earn of 12,420, according to the ANA site.
From reading the mileage plus site, N class on ANA is 100% mileage earn so PQP will be 12,420/5 = 2484. Is that correct?
As it gives me more PQP for my dollars, I'm considering taking the flight but I don't want to get it wrong. I understand I won't earn MM miles on United.
Accrual is per the UA rules, not NH rules. N class earns 100% on UA. So it's 100% of miles flown divided by 5, with a cap of 750 PQP per flight. Assuming you're flying through NRT, this would be (approx) 6753 + 2889, or 750 + 578 PQP, for a total of 1,328 each direction.
This assumes NH ticket. On a UA ticket, you'll earn per the fare paid.
