Multi airline fare classes?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to book a flight from Beijing to Milan on Kayak.com. There's no direct flight, the options I'm looking at makes a stop in certain cities in Europe.

One option I'm looking at is flying Air China to Frankfurt and Lufthansa onward to Milan

I'm trying to make sure I earn 100% miles on my flights. On Kayak, it shows a farecode of LHXOWYT. Does that mean I'm earning L class for both Air China and Lufthansa? How do I make sense of this?

Air China has a direct flight from Beijing to Milan. CA 949 leaves Beijing at 1:30 pm and arrives in Milan at 7:00 pm.

No, it can be the same booking class on the partner but it does not have to be...

Build up your flights on matrix.itasoftware.com and then you can check, in what booking classes the fare will be booked.
