Just tried a booking and seen the following message in the Class section after selecting the flights.

For tickets bought in N and V classes, Flying Blue members will earn 25% of the minimum mileage or distance flown.

Only problem was I had selected the higher class of fare, if I go back and select the lower reduced earning fare then the 25% message disappears on the next page for Class.

Anyone else care to check in case I have had too much vino?

The problem as I see it is that it only says "For tickets bought in N and V classes" It doesn't precisely state that the ticket in question will be in N or V. I think the message they give is far too vague.

But, I'd also like to know where you find these? I find them when you get the pricing and there is a linked "Economy" or similar. What also bothers me is that sometimes you get "Conditions apply" but the link to conditions have disappeared.

Please don't be angry even though I repeat myself.

"Book" flights trough Multiple destinations options.

Example:
Flight 1
LHR VIE
5.8.2005
Press "Show available flight" -link
Choose LHR 14.50-17.10 AMS 20.00 - 21.34 VIE
Press "Select flight" link

Flight 2
VIE LHR
8.8.2005
Press "Show available flight" -link
Choose VIE 16.15 - 18.15 AMS 19.05 - 19.25 LHR
Press "Select flight" link
Press "Finish and view price" link

Press "Show fare conditions" (situated t the bottom just above "Back"-link).

You will get a pop-up showing the fare code and fare conditions. This time:

I admit that this is not the ideal way because you can't see the normal colour codes used with normal return bookings. You will only see three colours and you can't predict which is the least expensive fare. However, you may first do a "normal" search to find out te least expensive fares and just before booking check the fare code the "Multiple destinations way"

You can repeat this plenty of times. Eventually it'll sink in to my thick head ;-)

There is certainly no need to do this when using the UK site.

The Fare Conditions link is there at the Payment page.

Point I was making is that if I book an N or V fare I get no note in the Class section saying that it is reduced to 25% earning.

On the other hand if I book I higher 100% earning class then the note is there.
