T class in First Class Cabin
I am interested to know if booking in T class secure FF points and SCs?
When I look up the airline earning table, there is no mention of T class.

Which airline?
I assume Qantas being the Qantas forum, but never sure
Normally if a class is not listed in the Airline Earning table you can be assured that you get no points or status credits for the flying.
Eg. T Class for Qantas, or S Class for Cathay Pacific.

The promotion on this website of SIN-MEL-SIN first class at S$936 made me wonder that this was an exceptional offer.
http://airfares.com.sg/airfares/qf/7..._australia.htm
However, when I had closer look at QF387/388, it obviously is BA codeshare and it now makes sense that the T class is in fact WT+.
Similar offer is also on bestflights.com.au under business class/asia,,,though for both Melbourne as well as Sydney.
This is my interpretation anyway.

Precisely,,,good observation. ^
So, this is a QF offer in T class but promoted as First Class promotion. Misleading indeed. I will send off an inquiry to Misa Travel to book first class and see what response I get. Will post when that happens.

Min Stay Waived
Max Stay 26 Mar 06
( Return Trip
as well as being under the heading "Melbourne First Class Promo" . No mention of business class or WT+

What they gave you as a guide line.
Booking class
Booking class refers to the different price level for the different allotment of seats for each respective class.
First Class Examples: A, F
Business Class Examples: C, D, J
Economy Class Examples: H, K, L, M, O, N, S, V, Q & others
Hmmm... paying S$2732 for a return Economy Class... ouch...

The first clue about the flight numbers (qf387 and qf388) alerts me to BA metal.
Next, if you put on your reading glasses and refer to "airline earning table" at Qantas.com, and look up BA, you will see the classes as follows:
GKLMNOQRSV Discount Economy*
BHY Full Economy
TW World Traveller Plus
CDIJ Business
AF First
Let's revisit the ageny's promotion,,,booking class A is First, I class is business, not economy, and lastly, T is World Traveller Plus.
This is my reading and all there is to be said is that the agent is misleading with reference to the words "Melbourne First Class Promo". Period.
