The matrices of miles earned on OW airlines by FF Programme
 
Since this question seems to come up repeatedly, I'm trying to summarise the mileage earning tables for each for the OneWorld airlines. Some programmes make this easy (direct links below), other make it hard, for reasons best known to themselves. Any help on the missing ones appreciated.

The list is organised by FF Programme:

AA: http://www.aa.com/apps/AAdvantage/Vi...artnerType=Air
AY: http://www.finnair.com/web/finnair/s...?pageid=-12764
BA: http://www.britishairways.com/travel...e/public/en_gb
CX: http://www.asiamiles.com/am/1,,22481...rtravelcredits
EI: http://www.aerlingus.com Click "Services & Frequent Flyers" the "oneworld partners". I can't make a direct link work.
IB: Can't find the information online
LA: Can't find information online
QF: http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/program/terms#9_3

Please PM me if you notice that any of these no longer work and I will edit here.

Please Madam Moderator can this be made a sticky?

Wow. Finnair Plus awards miles on CX flight classes that even Asiamiles doesn't... GNOQS! I had AY membership once... now where is that card now?
:confused:

Iberia Plus
 
First go to IB's home page (www.iberia.es), and then select from the top menu:

-> Iberia Plus -> Earning points -> Flights... then either "Iberia Group" or "Associated Airlines"

By the way, would it not be better, I suggest, to add this info to the FAQ rather than creating yet another sticky?

I found that page, but it doesn't tell you which classes are Full economy and which are discounted economy on each airline, which is what we need.

I thought about adding to the FAQ, but the FAQ is specifically for xONEn tickets and this question is of relevance more generally.

More about the LANPASS program
 
The closest thing you'll get to an explanation on the LAN site:

http://www7.lan.com/lanpass/acumulando/lineas.html#1

Worth a read, if only for the amusing terminology.

Last time I passed through SCL I picked up the members' benefits guide and even this omits specific info on which flights qualify for earning, though I was able to glean:

Business Class earns a 25% bonus, First a 50% bonus
Min 800 kms earned on every OW / associated airline segment (except for IB, QF and BA)
Kilometres earned on LA flights expire after 36 months from the date of travel, all others for 3 calendar years (more or less the same thing?) - however if you fly at least once every 3 years your kms never expire :confused:

Three elite levels: Premium (OW Ruby), Premium Silver (OW Sapphire), Comodoro (OW Emerald). Qualification levels respectively: 40,000kms or 30 segments; 80K kms or 60 segs; 150K kms or 100 segs.

Full economy is 'Y', anything else is considered discounted economy.

[OT] I don't understand the logic behind LAN's secrecy, but I suspect it has to do with some of their 'hidden' benefits: the less they publish about their programme the easier it is for them to play dumb about some things. For example, Comodoros get unlimited automatic free upgrades, subject only to availability; these upgrades clear at the gate, and they just 'happen'.

So it's more the norm than the exception? Interesting.

I know two Comodoros with close to perfect scoring averages, and I'm talking about coveted routes, like SCL-MIA, SCL-MAD, etc. One of them has never, ever, had to even touch his upgrade certificates in the last two years. It makes me green with envy. :)
