IB booking codes
Hi,
Can't find fare codes for Iberia's and OW partner airlines fare famiilies, would be fantastic if someone could help.
I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time now and I haven't been able to find previous topics in the forum answering the same in an up-to-date manner. I've tried IB customer support it seems they have had either no training in answering other than copy pasting whatsoever, or seem unwilling to share this information.
Thanks in advance

I've been wondering about this too. Their website states just:
- For full economy, 1 mile equals one Avios.
- In Business Class, 1 mile earns you 1.5 Avios.
- In discount Economy, 1 mile gives you 1 Avios.
Does anyone know which booking classes go into each fare bucket?
- For full economy, 1 mile equals one Avios.
- In Business Class, 1 mile earns you 1.5 Avios.
- In discount Economy, 1 mile gives you 1 Avios.
Does anyone know which booking classes go into each fare bucket?

What about Premium Economy?
Do you know which booking classes count as "Basic" fares on domestic and European flights, which earn even less than discounted economy?
Thanks!

Thanks, JuanRos!!
B and H earn according to Discount Economy for redeemable miles but as Full Fare for TPs, then? What about "Basic" fares?
It does indeed seem a bit stingy that all economy fares but Y earn as Discount Economy on partnering airlines. Does that apply even when flying on BA?

As regrards of BA I'd check the avios/TP calculator.

Check page 4 of this document where you can see what fare codes correspond to classic, basic and flexible but again (sorry it's in spanish!!)

Premium economy gives you 1,25 avios per mile and full economy fare TP's on Iberia Plus. I haven't flown Premium Economy in companies other than BA so can't say if for other oneworld partners the same applies.
I just hope that IB Plus would have a proper earn table on their website like BAEC does!

Hey Julianin,
Excellent information! I browsed through the document and seems it's got all fare families listed. Thanks a lot!
Agree that the website should contain full information, and why not also a calculator.
Do you recall what you earned on the BA flight in Prem economy?

Basic are N,O,Q,P fares where the fare code ends in 4K.
