Does it mean that regardless whether UA calls it basic economy, as long as the fare class is NOT N, then I should get 1 PQF? Thanks.
Generally non-BE and BE can not be mixed on the same ticket. For Domestic only, BE is N and earns no PQFs. International BE does not use N.
Did you have some irrops / schedules change / ???? occur for this trip leading to a ticket change?
