Link to How many Avios / PE will I earn? Where did it go?
Hello all, it looks like IB have a new website and one of the ‘enhancements’ was to take away the link to How many Avios will I earn? which opened a little pop up window and showed Avios and Puntos Elite to be earned on that booking. Has this disappeared or am I just a bit blind? It was really useful for me when booking flights. Thx

I belive it´s gone. It was useful to make and educated guess about booking class.
Now it´s more complicated to figure out the booking class. There is a way, you need to go through the coding and search for booking class (or similar), or check on an OTA that provides booking class/codes.

Anyway, do you have any tips regarding OTA that shows the fare class so that we can try and work out the PE / Avios that we will get?
Thanks

If you book with IB directly on their website, the fare class is actually quite prominently listed on the e-ticket that they send you: column “Clase – Tarifa” and “Class – Fare”, 3rd column from the right of the document. Also provides the fare code, which is handy as you can usually look up the details in EF

I hope that the Avios pop-up window will come back eventually, as it was very helpful. I used to keep a screenshot in case I didn't get those actual Avios and Puntos Élite after the flights.
