E on LH is not eligible for accumulation and D (business class) is 100% miles + 25% class of service bonus.

Sorry, I meant E and U. Is there a way to figure this out without having to bother you (other people on FT)?

Both LH E & U don't earn miles.

Basically any class that is not listed under this LH page means you won't get status miles.

Thanks! I was looking at the chart, but wasn't sure that "not on chart" = no points.

N / K Class
 

Howdy, I am new to the forum...

I am flying from Winnipeg -> London, and Amsterdam -> Winnipeg (connecting in Toronto & London) in April. I was stupid when I booked my flights using Air Canada's multi-city tool and it signed me up for the N and K class fares automatically (which, I gather are similar to the Tourist - even though they call them Economy). I am on K from YWG-YYZ-LHR and N from AMS-LHR-YYZ-YWG.

I called Air Canada after reading this board and they offered to upgrade me to status-earning for a mere $400... (almost half the price of the ticket!)

I notice now on Aeroplan's website they have changed the earning structure. They say N / K is non-earning from Canada - UK.. but they say all other destinations are earning. Does this mean that I wont earn miles going, but because my destination/origination point coming back is the Netherlands I will earn miles in K class? Also, they say that all flights on bmi (who I am flying between AMS-LHR) are mile earning.

Can anyone shed light on if I will earn miles and for which routes? I'm not so concerned with status miles, but some aeroplan miles would be nice.

Thanks a million! :)

Miles earned is based on each individual segment (and not the overall origin & destination). So in your case since both K & N are ineligible for miles accumulation for UK, you won't get any miles for your YYZ-LHR-YYZ flights. Within Canada you'll get 50% non status miles for the domestic segments and for AMS-LHR, assuming it's an AC codeshare operated by BMI booked in AC K class, that maps to BD V class so 25% miles with 500 miles minimum.

Lack of knowlege with AC Reservation Agents
 

After having made Elite this year thanks to mostly Star Alliance flights, I decided that for a flight to North America I'd try to call AC directly. Our company travel agent offered up a nice option with LH and BA, but AC had something in the same price range as well. The only catch is that the agent quoted me the fare, but never that it was K-class and therefore wasn't points-eligible.

When I saw the e-ticket and called back right away, the agent who I spoke with had to put me on hold for 10 mins to call Aeroplan to check whether or not K-class was eligible. She "seemed to recall" that it wasn't, but only because she had done research in the past on her own.

The agent told me that none of the agents know about this, and they're not taught about the effect of various classes on points and most agents would not be able to inform a customer if asked whether a flight was eligible or not.

Z = coach class?
 

Just curious - flew YYZ-YVR-PEK last week and the itinerary from the travel agent had "Class of Service: Coach Class Z" Of course, I know from this thread that Z is discounted business class.
Given that the ticket was 6K+ it gave me a start till I saw that the seat assignment was 3A/3K
Two questions: why is this, and more importantly for future reference, was there a possibility that through miscommunication this could put me in the Y cabin?

Is an A fare still give 100% status miles to HKG ?

I have only booked U and M fares to HKG, so I do not know from personal experience.

However, this Aeroplan link would appear to show that A fares do earn 100% status miles, if I interpret the chart section "...other destinations" correctly.

Question about earning Aeroplan status miles on a UA codeshare
 

I did a search which brought up some posts that I read through including some from a few years ago but I am still unsure about the answer to my question. I apologize in advance if I have posted this in the wrong place or if the answer is obvious or if this question has already been asked and answered a million times, but I would like to be sure before I make the purchase. I am only willing to buy if I will receive 100% aeroplan status miles for the flights.

I am looking at purchasing a ticket on UA that is S class but one of the flights is a code share operated by LH. According to the Aeroplan website the rules apply for the airline operating the code share flight but the posts I read suggest that since the flight will have a UA flight number then the miles will be credited as per UA's rules. LH only gives 50% for S class fares.

My interpretation is that since it has a UA flight number, the miles will post in accordance with UA's policy and the LH codeshare is irrelevant for earning Aeroplan status miles, is this correct?

Looking at another trip to China in April - Does P booking class earn 100% Aeroplan Miles? It is not mentioned as a fare type at all in the "Other Destinations" area of post # 3, NOR is it mentioned on the Aeroplan Site...:confused:

Z class is a revenue business class booking class.

It will be posted based on the operating carrier regardless of which codeshare carrier it's ticketed under. First you have to see what UA S class is equivalent to for LH operated flight. UA flight number in S class does not necessary mean LH S class. (If you call UA, they should be able to let you know) If UA S does indeed = LH S, then it's 50% mileage.

P will earn 100% for China.
