Staralliance milage accrual on domestic Flights
Since Shanghai Airlines and Air China are Star Alliance members now, I would like to work out if it is possible to get miles on domestic flights in economy.
What are the booking classes for the discounted tickets sold through Ctrip? |
To date, I've been crediting almost all of my CA and FM flights to CA; when doing this only Y/C/F yield 100% or above; everything else (including B and H, which cost 90% and 80% of Y, respectively) is 70%.
If you have a timetable (of any Chinese airline), you can easily match up the discount levels with their respective fare codes. I have a CA timetable in my office, but I'm not planning on going there. I'm pretty sure I've seen this info online as well (in fact, I think I posted it here several years ago). I'm not sure about *A carriers' policies, but I agree this would be useful info (i.e. would help in deciding which flights to credit to CA v. UA). |

According to TG: CA: no miles for T and E, 50% for L, Q, G, S, V, U, W. FM: 50% for E, H, Q, S, G All other economy 100% http://www.thaiair.com/Royal_Orchid_...of_service.htm |

If you have the e-ticket # (starts w/999), you should be able to check the fare class thru Air China website.
I found out the following: (all economy) CA discount 0%: Y, 10%: B, 15%: M, 20%: H, 25%: K, 30%: L, 40%: Q, 50%: G, 60%: U, 70%: Z, 80%: E. FM discount 0%: Y, 10%: B, 20%: L, 25%: M, 30%: T, 35%: E, 40%: H, 50%: V, 60%: W, 70%: P, 80%: Z. If anyone knows better, please post. I know China well enough to realize that there is a chance that the information coming from the airlines might be incorrect. And the Thai chart doesn't make sense to me when I see these classes, but international classes would be most probably different. It seems like I have to try it out. I will be in Bangkok this week and contact the head office to see. |

Sure, once I have the ticket the class should be known. But I like to know how to go before spending money.

But one thing is surprising: Ctrip sells the same flight that I was checking on for half the price. A pity that they don't show the classes: CA1361, SZX-PVG, 19.Mar 08, 21:45 Ctrip: 280, Yoee 560. Plus I have a nice arrangement with Ctrip that they hold the ticket in SZX airport and I pay when collecting it. Thay may do that if they know you for some time. |

Thanks, I wonder how you always know the answers in so many fields. You and moondog are just unbelievable.

Well, 280RMB will be 80% off, and it'll be a "E" fare then, as you've already found out earlier. |

On March 25, 2007, the new earning table came into effect with some Economy booking classes still get 100% while the majority only get 50% and a few receive nothing. |
