VisitEurope questions
Hi,
I have some questions regarding the OW VisitEurope program.
1) What fare class are these flights booked in (economy)? From what I've read so far, it seems they would be booked in 'L'.
2) Do they accrue Q-Points/Q-Miles at normal rates?
3) Is the zone distance between two non-OW cities (eg. CDG and FCO) calculated as CDG-FCO or as CDG-MAD-FCO? In this case, would this flight count as two flights for the minimum or just one?
4) In any case, is a <24 hr stopover permitted at the transit city?
TIA

1. Used to be L now V. Good luck finding availability.
2. Yes.
3. Fares are calculated per segment. If CDG-MAD-FCO was a single flight number (one segment) then mileage would be calculated as CDG-FCO under my reading of the rules.
6N . 1. FARES ARE CALCULATED PER SEGMENT AS SPECIFIED
7N . BELOW AND ARE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY TAXES AND
8N . PASSENGER FEES WHICH MUST BE COLLECTED
9N . SEPARATELY.

Thanks for the link.
However, now I am confused:
Does this imply that he new booking code is V? I suppose it would be easier to get seats booked under V than under L?
Is there a similar link for biz class tickets?
Thanks
However, now I am confused:
34N BOOKING CODE
35N -------------
36N .
37N . * L ALL CARRIERS FOR TRAVEL COMMENCING ON OR
38N . BEFORE 31MAR04
39N . * V ALL CARRIERS FOR TRAVEL COMMENCING ON/AFTER
40N . 01APR04
35N -------------

Yeah, you' re right that was the change last year. I forgot about that. L used to be booking code and V is the current code. Even less availability under V than L. I'll change that in my post above.
There are no biz class visit fares.
BA did just post some I class biz specials for summer. There is a thread on the BA about them.
