I don't find any problem with expanding the discussion of pricing to what the EQM earning is on each carrier and fare bucket.

After all, it is a mileage run!

No issues with the expansion of discussions, especially considering we are in the MR section of the forum. FT has always been a great community where members contribute and share.

I am talking about the tone the original poster comes off as - "obviously you don't know", "do not understand the significance of this fare" - quite presumptuous. Also to consider, not everyone has the same FF membership(s), and the intention of flying can vary; personally, I have flown flights found here in the MR section for leisure, work, and MR!

that was in response to ETHFlyers matter of fact attitude about how the fare was nothing special. Okay then instead of being nasty, just ask why the fare is so good. Or move on.

Ok just to clarify, is this a HU "R" fare that earns 200% EQM with AS OR is it an I fare that just earns 100 % AS EQM

R earns 100% base + 100% Class of service (COS) bonus. Which = 200% RDM, 200% EQM.
I earns 100% base + 0% COS + 100% additional bonus. Which = 200% RDM, 100% EQM.

So there is a big difference between R and I fare if you are crediting to Alaska for EQM.

HU has a few business class (R) fares on Google Flights departing from YYZ in December at $2922 CAD; $2288 USD.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Best business class fare I've ever seen from YYZ on HU was $1882 CAD to PEK or $1935 CAD to HKG Rtn, but that was way back in Oct 2015.

That I can't answer. All I know is if I go through Google Flights for YYZ it takes me through to the HU website and it shows business (R).
