Exclamation Request for Information to Support the EC FAQ

All,

Hello. After an excellent suggestion from one of our fellow FT'ers, I've added an "Experience with EC Costs" section to the FAQ.

This is to provide members' experiences with costs (status, non-status, etc.).

As such, I ask that you post the following to help fill gaps and I will update the FAQ accordingly.

Also, I will ask the mod's to delete posts once I've added the pertinent information into Post #1 of the FAQ in order to minimize searching, posts, etc.

Please post the following if you have the information available in order to assist others:

Status Level: DM/PM/GM/FO; ST Status; AS Status; No Status
Domestic/International:
Length of Flight:
One way cost of EC:


PLEASE do not post questions or other commentary in this thread as it relates to Economy Comfort...that is what the FAQ is for!

Thanks in advance!

Two TPACs for the list:

DL 181 DTW-PVG (Shanghai), 7137 mi
14h 55m scheduled on the 772
EC $80 for me (DL GM), $160 for my coworker (no status)

DL 186 HKG-DTW (Hongkong), 7850 mi
15h 15m scheduled on the 77L
Also $80 for me (GM) or $160 for no-status coworkers
From past trips I know DL 187 DTW-HKG is also this price for EC.

No status at booking; Delta Silver when I paid for EC
International
SYD-LAX (7488 miles)
AU$150 without status; AU$112.50 as a Silver

(Note: this flight was cancelled and I was rebooked on VA metal, so I didn't actually fly in EC. DL had processed the refund by the time I called to ask for it a day or two later.)

Was this actually AU$250 without status? FO is supposed to receive a 50% discount, making me think this is a typo

The Silver discount for intercontinental EC and KLM EC is 25%.
