SQ N class accumulation
Hi
I just booked a ticket from SIN-BOM on SQ.
The ticket was issued online as a N class.
I cant see what this gets on Aeroplan. There is no mention of N class. I am worried as I need these points to re-qualify for my Super Elite 100k
Thanks

I'll be interested in the answer
Aeroplan website states 'Booking classes not listed in the chart below are not eligible for accumulation'
i was reluctant to book SFO-HKG recently because of the N fare was all my company would book.

I bent over backwards to avoid N class on a long segment because of that. I think the website is the only thing you can go on. If within 24 hours, and I needed the AQM to qualify, I'd rebook in a tabulated class, if it were me.

I remember that in SQ's Krisflyer FFP, one segment in N class lead to all other segments in (higher) Economy classes becoming ineligible for mileage accumulation as well. These days it earns 50% there but 0% in Aeroplan as YYT82 pointed out.

1) no mileage accumulation unless I pay through the nose
2) I can often get business for the accumulation classes on SQ
3) other *A carriers are often cheaper (to Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Thailand). For other nearby destinations I often take a discount airline since it's a fraction of the price. I often wonder who actually flies SQ? It must be mostly other people's money.

I am based out of SIN and I often fly other airlines because of SQ because of

Just booked YVR-ICN-SIN-TPE-YVR
YVR-ICN (AC) P
ICN-SIN (SQ) D
SIN-TPE (SQ) N
TPE-YVR (AC) N
AC.com always mentions if it is mixed classes when you book online, at least from my experience. I picked the SIN-TPE because it was one of the few that was NOT listed as mixed classes.
Just got my itinerary and I see I am booked in ECONOMY (N) for SIN-TPE. That is not going to fly.
Can someone with SQ experience please confirm for me that this is in fact back of the bus and does not have accumulation?
Any speculation on why AC.com is misleading on this fare?

SQ N puts you at the back of the bus, and does not accumulate to Aeroplan. You can, however, sign up for KrisFlyer and accumulate it at 50%, which gives you 1011 miles between SIN and TPE.

Strange that AC.com didn't list it as mixed classes.
EDIT: I lied. It was $17 more for the PEK routing. Tough call...
