Go to Fare Lookup or whatever it's called on EF, out in the routings and dates and uncheck validate fares (put in EK and as much info as possible) then in the list of fares find the one matching your fare construction, something like the XXLFRUS, and it'll show the fare bucket in the same row. <br /><br />EK has no way of knowing that you'll credit to a partner, not how the partner awards miles, they tell you how many miles they award in Skywards. AS has complete autonomy on their mile awards for partner fares. EK doesnt have any paid fares that earn 0 on Skywards.

The fare type is the first letter (the RBD): X
For EK fare group purposes you look 4th from the right (basically the last 3 letters of an EK fare are the country it originates from and an identifier, so US4), which is “R” - which in EK parlance means special.
Helpfully they also put Special in the endorsement box!

Wow, I'm confused, at least I know it's X so I'm all good on the miles end.
The word special is in there somewhere, I remember reading Special and something to the effect of ineligible for upgrades.
Thanks gang

That's fine, I'm only concerned about earning miles 
. Though this 3-4-3 777 is really unappealing. I was hoping EK would offer a bit more comfort, too bad the 380 doesn't fly to SEA and I couldn't route through LAX/SFO without spending a bunch more money.

I have LAX to Dubai on a round trip X fare which appears that I will only earn 2100 miles. It looks like if I use my Alaska number I will get 50% of miles flown so about 8,000. 1) does that appear correct? 2) better to go with Alaska since I don’t regularly earn on emirates?

Hi Kuroko or anyone who can help me find the answer
Thanks for your explanation, may i know what is the 5th letter from the isn't? is it indicates the fare too?
example fare basis:
WHWRFAU1 or EHXPFAU1
Does R or P indicates as Saver/Special Fare? since your answer said it's for 4th letter from the right.
Thanks in advance
