SK W class fare on codeshare operated by TK - AP accumulation?

Does anyone know what, if any, AP miles accumulation is given for an SK W class fare operated by TK?

SK W class gives 100% but there is no W class listed on the AP TK page. However, as we have seen in other threads, the different carriers are not rationalised in their fare buckets across the alliance. My reservation shows on AC as being "Flex" for this segment. All very confusing.

You will earn 70% of miles flown as it's booked into one of the 70% earner classes on TK.

The results are in - I did indeed get 70% miles - it appears to have mapped to Q class

Just out of curiousity: how did you know it was going to be 70%? Was it from experience, or is there a database where you can see Star Alliance mappings?

W class on SK maps to V class on AC, which is Flex for international fares. AC Flex maps to discounted economy class fares but not deeply discounted economy fares on other airlines, hence mapping to the 70% earning tier on TK.

Errorplan is the stingiest program out there in terms of awarding miles flown on non-AC carriers, so not getting 100% of miles flown is not surprising. I had a PY booking that also mapped into one of the 70% tier on TK. I would strongly suggest that *A (non-AC) flights be credited to UA MP.

Gotcha, thanks. Most of my experience is with the UA MileagePlus where the joint venture partners (LH, LX, etc.) generally have aligned the fare classes to UA. e.g. LX K = UA K, and all is credited according to operating airline.
