Everyone here needs to calm down... remember it's Iberia's business class we're talking about. People who didn't need to travel or mileage run (I'm the latter) wouldn't have bought this, unlike say the Cathay Pacific First Class fare a few years back. So I wouldn't expect sold-out cabins here.

As a data point, I made two bookings via priceline. One in april and one in may. They show different "flight amenities" and fare rules even though they are both business fully flex. The april version does not include "refund before departure" and the fare rules are boilerplate priceline language which is very short and states nothing similar to the other. While the other does include refund before departure and has the classic fare rules directly from the carrier.
Anyone see this? How can I locate the true fare rules for the fare that doesnt include refund before departure?

For anyone looking for mileage crediting info, just called AA (yes after the sale has ended), Latam ticket stock with 045- are NOT eligible for miles credit to AAdvantage even if the flights are operated by Iberia. Alaska Mileage Plan seems to be eligible for miles.

Ticket stock shouldn't matter, it's the airline code that precedes flight number matters. Are you booked on one of those IB operated flights with a LA flight number?

There is no mention of ticket stock on the AA site. These will credit to AA if it has an IB code and IB metal. Flights operated by Latam won’t credit to AA

On the AA website, it list that it has to be an Iberia marketed and operated flight. So since this is on Latam ticket stock, it is not an Iberia marketed flight, and hence no mileage credit to AA. Spoke to another AAdvantage agent and confirmed it. Just called Alaska too, and they also said that on a Latam stock, only the flight operated by Latam will credit to Alaska but NOT the segments operated by Iberia, even though Iberia is OneWorld. So.... basically, these are great fares but useless in terms of mileage crediting.

You could have an IB flight with an IB flight number on a United ticket stock and AA would credit it.

If it is operated by Iberia, it is an Iberia operated flight.
Ticket stock does not matter in both cases for your mileage credit.
BTW: LA earns miles on Lufthansa's Miles & More - in case you may want to earn some and redeem it on domestic UA flights.

As far as AA is concerned “Marketed” doesn’t mean ticket stock. IB operated and marketed means IB plane and IB flight number. Ticket number doesn’t matter in the slightest.
You could have an IB flight with an IB flight number on a United ticket stock and AA would credit it.

I think this is correct. For mileage earnings, only need to pay attention to flight numbers and operating airline.
