MU/FM - KUL-MAD - 4087 MRY / $870 r/t - Premium Economy - 10482 MQD's

China Eastern / Shanghai Airlines - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (KUL) to Madrid, Spain (MAD) - 4087 MRY / $870 roundtrip in Premium Economy.

Unfortunately this trip has long connections in Shanghai. The entire trip could technically be completed in premium economy, but the cost per mile flown is lower if the segments between KUL and PVG are in economy. If you credit this flight to Delta, then book the entire thing in Premium Economy because all of the PE segments book into the P fare code which Delta thinks is First (International) so you'll receive 60% MQD.

There's been a lot of speculation about whether MU's P class actually credits to Skymiles at the ungodly sums it does, but I can confirm this is correct. Recently flew a one-way P fare from PVG to SIN & got almost 10k Skymiles as a Diamond. Terrific stuff!

That's awesome that it credits properly to SkyMiles! I figured it would. Airlines usually strictly follow their loyalty / award charts, often to the detriment of the passenger, but in this case it works in your favor!

As someone who frequently flies MU, sometimes it’s better to not say anything rather than brag about terrific stuff. Terrific stuff tends to stay terrific longer if it’s not mentioned as such.

I like how "bragging" in this forum (at least, to some) is simply sharing helpful information. For as many great members as there're here, who'll often stop at nothing to solve any problem for you, there's also a fair share of permanently miserable ones willing to knock anything constructive down.

If you don't want the secret out, you can just convey that politely rather than ridiculously trying to impugn my motivation for posting.

Strange that they would make changes only to MU earning rates on May 1st and no changes to any other partners. I wonder if they read Flyertalk.

New rate for P class is 25% MQD. No longer terrific. This excess mileage credit was going on for years (as extra redeemable miles and 150% MQM before this year and then 60% MQD this year) until it popped up on FT as a great deal a month or two ago.

Alas, all good things must end.
