I haven't used bestfares.com in many years, but am considering them for a Euro trip this summer as fares are high and I can't even find an EasyPass reward to Prague when I want to go. One of their deals is obviously using NW/KLM. I'm a CO Plat who travels on his own dime, so I'm naturally interested in whether I would receive EQM and/or mileage bonuses when flying KLM via bestfares.com. I won't bother asking bestfares, as I'm sure the answer will be "yes." Anyone have any experience? TIA.

It all depends on the fare class that your ticket is booked in:

Prior to booking at bestfares.com I'd check the same itinerary out on CO.com and see whether there's any price difference.

I assume deeply discounted tix would be in a class only receiving half EQM. I was curious as to whether bestfares bookings are treated like Priceline or Hotwire: no miles.
