P Class: The Definitive Thread
 

I will be flying from SFO-DTW on P class (discounted premium class). Will I earn 100% gold medallion bonus?

The status-based bonus does not depend on fare class.

what does it mean?
 

so are you saying that status bonus based on status?

Yes, your status bonus is based on status, and the cabin bonus is based on cabin.

In your case, you'll get a 100% bonus for being a Gold Medallion and a 50% bonus for buying a First Class fare.

If your flight is 1000 miles, you'll get 1000 + 1000 + 500, for a total of 2500 miles. I assume English is not your first language, or else I would have been much less subtle ;).

Since I primarily fly DL I am familiar with what fare classes earn which percentage miles/mqms. However, recently I have flown com trips on CO and have no idea which fare classes on CO earn which percentage miles/mqms.

Is there a list somewhere that will tell me CO FARE CLASS (X) = 100%miles/50%mqms, etc. and the same with NW? Thanks. MC

Off topic but I didn't want to start another thread on this.

What is P class on Delta? Is there such a class?

What is P class on Delta?
 

I looked at the sticky threads and didn't see P class. Does anyone know what it is?

Thanks!

Peasant class? :D

Well not really... as I was 13th on the upgrade list last night ATL-MLB, there was a young kid by himself (15, 16 years old maybe) who had a first class seat and his boarding pass had Class P. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks, but I thought I saw Class P.

I think maybe I should make things clear since someone hammered me bad once for the use of Peasant Class. That should referred forthwith as Peasant Class™.

Could he have been young enough to be a UM? Did he have the red and white button on? Just speculation on my part, I have no clue.

No, he wasn't a UM, he wasn't wearing one of those ID's around his neck and wasn't being guarded by a DL employee. Maybe I just read his bp wrong.

Looks like it's a real FC fare but I have no idea how you get one.

Thanks for looking this up Indufan.. ^ . I was wondering if it was an employee type fare and someone's kid was stealing my upgrade.

Isn't P class used to denote purchased First Class fares on Delta Partners that offer 3 classes internationally? In other words, if the UM was travelling paid First Class on AF CDG-ATL-MLB with ATL-MLB being operated by Delta as a codeshare with AF, wouldn't the Delta BP read "P" instead of "F"?
