Confused. Miles on Continental 100 % on all fares ????
Hi,
I will have to fly to the US 2 or three times this year in economy, I am looking for the lowest fare that still gets me 100 % miles. I read that Continental would be my best bet. Is that still so or did something change
Thanks

IIRC, CO and KL gives 100% miles on most base fares.
As a CO OP member, I received 100% miles EQM on most discounted fares
and I believe its true the other way around too.

Only the following booking classes are eligible for earning Miles: A, B, C, D, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
(For travel from January 8, 2007, booking class M is also eligible for Miles accrual)

I have yet to book a flight on CO that was not considerably cheaper than KL metal. I always earn 100% miles and they post within days.
KL still has yet to improve the website to allow fare/class selection and seat assignments, they still charge an extreme amount for taxes and fuel surcharges, still charges an internet booking fee, and charges me per passanger whenever I use their KLM Am Ex card......
I have taken all my business elsewhere and have not flown on paid KL metal in over a year.
I will however stay FB due to the fact I live in the NL's and only need 40,000 instead of 50,000 to remain Gold.
