What AC fare code does (codeshare) Lufthansa P map to?
I bought a ticket in C on LH stock, that has an AC TATL leg. It is booked into LH fare code P, which is some sort of discounted business class code for LH. My LH confirmation with the AC leg says 'Business' across the board.
When I looked at my booking on AC.com, it shows my flight as the codeshared LH flight number, but then it says 'Tango', since I guess P is discounted economy at AC. Alarmed, I immediately called AC and did indeed confirm that I'm in Executive First, and also got a seat assignment.
So, any ideas what AC fare code an LH P fare maps to?

Not sure the point of the question really does not matter. If LH issued/sold you the "P" ticket and it has a LH flight number as far as miles it's zero miles even if on a AC metal.
Now a P on LH program it does earn miles, but as far as Aeroplan it's a Tango fare
Internally I would guess AC classes it a Z for executive class which is what AC would use for discounted Executive class.

This is exactly the scenario you had described, flight booked with LH in P fare bucket, but code-shared with and operated by AC.
Going by previous posts this maps into Z for AC, the operating carrier.
Since you want to post the miles to your MP account, you need to see MP webpage and figure out what an AC Z fare earns.

I'm pretty sure this is how it works, I haven't been through this myself though.

Sorry - but am hijacking this thread...
I have LH "V" class booked but flight operated by AC. I think it will also map out on AC "V" class. My question is whether I'd get the (AL fomerly known as AP) elite bonus of 50% on AC flights vs 25% on LH flights.
I would think I'd get the AC bonus of 50%, no ?
Thanks !
