How many WP Miles on Air France?
Hi,
I have to book a RT ticket from PEK to AMS.
The cheapest flight I can find is on Air France. (They just announced that the strike is over...cross fingers.)
On the WP site there are "***" next to Air France indicating the WP miles accrued may be less that 100%.
I am a PE, how can I find out how many miles I will earn if I book this?
Thanks.

You have to find out the fare class of the fare you are looking to purchase then go here:

You also have to be careful because if you are buying a ticket from a consolidator - such as cheaptickets.com - and others - you still may not get ANY miles!!!

You need to look and see what fare code the flights you want end up in. If it ends up in either N or L, you will only get 25% EQM/RDM, if it ends up in G or U, then 50%, all other fare classes will earn 100%. Generally for the cheap fares on AF they will fall into the N/L fare classes which earn you practically nothing.

sorry for asking such a simply question, but I am just moving back from FB to WP and want to make sure I will get miles ...
AF-op and DL-coded in L-class ... should give 100% in WP, right?

I'm on nwa.com looking at a DL coded Air France operated itinerary - showing fares in T class. According to http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/earn/a...html#airfrance NW coded AF operated T class gets 100% EQM but there is no mention of DL coded AF operated flights. Safe to assume that I get 100% EQM here too?

Even with the economy codes I have always gotten 100% of EQM miles on AF flights plus my 100% (not EQM) gold bonus, even booked through Delta Website (SFO-CDG-VIE). Am I missing something?
