On the positive side - and I hadn't noticed that BA was changing earning rates for LA/JJ (thanks for pointing it out) - Economy earning rates have improved. Really good to see that A fare is now eligible for earning (I've missed out on a few of those in the past year), and quite a few fare classes moved up to 50% earnings.

Airlines generally don't honour tickets purchased before the announced changes Maybe BA is generous?

I think something similar happened with the QR R class fares and people did eventually get credit after "appealing" the decision to BAEC based on terms when booked. However, I was not affected and only saw that here afterwards so I would appeal to the FT institutional memory for more concrete information...
Not technically true, The R class on QR was a mistake when setting the table up and was completley unintentional the BA rep even replied to the post to confirm. Take the A to I class changes on AA anything after the change date regardless of when booked got the lower rate |

Just contacted BAEC-Gold Hotline regarding that very same question (No Avios or TP on Z Fares of LA) and they have confirmed me that this has been a change done on purpose by LATAM on the 11th of May. So i guess we will really need to live with the fact that Z will not give any Avios & TP anymore. Very sad and strange indeed. Especially because on one of my standard routings (MAD-UIO, operated by IB) the Z fares of LATAM are regularly 1k EUR cheaper than the ones on IB itself, which is also kind of weird anyway.

Thinking of booking BOG-GRU (or BOG-SCL-GRU for additional points) in Premium Business as the difference is not so big on my dates ($250 more each way). These book into Z-class.
Now, they used to accrue 140 TPs on BA, but since Latam Chile and Brazil merged their booking systems, Class Z seems to have fallen off the eligible accrue fares (per BA's website). It's a normal revenue class, so any ideas if this is a fluke or it's viewed as a deeply discounted J product which should not accrue? Confusingly, it shows Z still accrues under TAM (but not Latam). Who should I contact at BAEC to clarify? https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...922f14b507.jpg Full TPs prior to May 11 https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8b667351c2.jpg No TPs after May 11 |

I've asked BA on twitter a few days ago about this: https://twitter.com/super_marek/stat...69267465342976 (not aware about this thread). My main question is - "Z" got removed, while "R" got added. LATAM doesn't sell "R" fare class. To me it looks like a copy & paste error from another table. Also looking at where to credit it seems weird that BA doesn't earn avios / tier points, while other OW airlines still do, including IB.

This looks like a copy paste of the QR one as they had R as a screw up in the past also. |
From BA's website on June 22:
LATAM at a glance
Fare class (up to 10 May 2018) / Fare class (from 11 May 2018) / Avios
Although Z Tier Points are not specifically addressed, it looks as if we can be cautiously optimistic :) |
I've seen the new layout a few days ago and it still was showing R fare code, not Z. So So hopefully it's now fixed and it indeed was a copy&paste error.

What about if you credit to Iberia Plus, which is steadily becoming more attractive, will you receive the Avios per the rules of that programme? |
