ITA can help to see what booking class "might" be when booking chepaest fare , or the closest to the one TAP provided , but then the rest depends on the OP's FFP , and whta they decided to include or exclude
There is no such thing as point with TAP , what you earn by booking more expensive fares are miles
assuming you are a TAP member and want to use your TP account then what the website display is enough to know how many miles you will get
If not TAP member then its essentially a double lottery , because of TAP and your FFP
One tip would be to avoid the cheapest fares if thats a significant long journey
Thanks for that explanation.
I use SAS EuroBonus as my FFP and wanted to go one-way to the US and get as many miles as possible. I asked TP in the chat, and they said it would book into Y, B or M, but I don't think that's correct. I checked with ITA and it looks like the booking classes Y, B and M are way way more expensive than the prices listed for the flights I wanted. So, it's probably just a K-fare regardless of what option, I choose.
Just to mention, I have been in contact with TP a few times the last few days as I have a flight in Executive tomorrow that I want to change and they have given me very different information,
1) One agent told me it's possible to get a refund for an Executive Ticket for a fee of 125 USD regardless that the fare is non-refundable. I dont see that info anywhere on TP's website. Spoke to another agent and he confirmed it's not possible to get a refund. Glad I didn't proceed with that.
2) Another agent told me, I can change the routing of my ticket to whatever fx from ARN to CPH, but it wasn't entirely true. Another agent then told me, it's only possible to change destination within the same country.
Confusing to get different and incorrect info.
