Fare class when booking on airindia.com
 
How/where do I find the fare class when booking on airindia.com? Will be crediting to my TK account.

Thanks!

Select the fare & then click on 'Fare rules'.

Where in Fare rules please?

Here is screenshot of my potential itinerary...i have tried all three economy fares offered (Comfort, ComfortPlus, and Flex)...and can find nothing obvious in any of the fare rule sections that specifies the fare class code.

After 'Fare rules', click on 'Change'. Under 'Base Fare' you will see the fare class. In the instance below its class V.

Thank you Keyser!

I am red-faced for not having noticed it by myself. Not making an excuse but I think I subconsciously judged that that couldnt be the fare class because my original search was for a flight in PE, the fare was 3X more expensive than Econ but it's fare class was N and Turkish was not giving points for flying N on AI; my mind decided that field couldnt be the fare class because the fare was 3x more expensive and Asiana also was not crediting for N.

Once again I confirm two universal laws: Never assume everything invented by Humanity is logical; and, Never jump to a conclusion.

Thanks again.

Because AI PE is new... most *A partners have not recognized/updated their charts for this as yet. You will not get points for PE with most *A partners.

I flew Air India PE (from DEL to AMD) 3 weeks ago. Fare class E : no miles on my TK M&M.

Fare class E on AI is not recognized by TK so I'm not sure how far you'll get by asking them to manually credit.

Oof, finding this out the hard way. Booked and flew AI PE between the US and India and assumed it would help with my Krisflyer requalification but SQ doesn't recognize any of the AI PE fare classes for mileage accrual.

Booking an Air India SFO to BLR PE tickets ($1400) (Fare basis: EL2PWRSF - E Class I presume). Air India is crediting around 8000 Maharaja points. Seems like United will credit 100% miles for E class for the miles flown (Around 8700 miles one way). So, this means I will get around 17000 miles. This process is interesting.

Did United MileagePlus Plus credit the PE flight?

Did United Mileage Plus end up crediting your AI PE flight booked in E class? How many points and PQPs did you get?
I want to book an AI in PE for tomorrow…
Thanks!

Yes, I got a lot of miles. It was as per the miles of the flight.
