Since the list was originally created TK has added a Premium Economy product called Comfort Class. From making a dummy booking on PVG-IST it appears that A is one of the fare classes used for Comfort class. I have no idea if others are as well.

ETA: U & A are the two Comfort Class codes. Confirmed elsewhere on FT as well as on the AC partner page.

In *A it's always the operating carrier that counts. If the ticket was issued on or after 1st July, LH L = CO L. So according to the OZ earning table you should get 100%.

The CO L fare will earn 50% on LH, TP and A3. It will earn 100% on AC, BD, CO, OZ, UA and US. It will earn elite bonus RDMs on AC, BD, CO, LH, UA and US.

TAP Downgrade on domestic sectors
 
Apology in advance if wrong thread to post. Please move as needed.

We bought 4 special Business Class fares, MCO-EWR-LIS on TP. Booked in J Class (and inventory bucket) on all sectors, using CO metal MCO-EWR-MCO in their F cabin but booked at TP code share (TP metal across water). Ticketed with confirmed seat assignments in F on domestic flights in early September. Today received notice from TP that J Class changed to H Class and seat assignments now 38AB instead of 3AB on the MCO-EWR-MCO sectors. Only explanation they have offered is CO had equipment change (from B737-800 to B757-200) and as result TP have no Business Class seats, and indeed TP tried to explain it was an all economy aircraft!
If you look at CO schedule, it is B757 with F cabin. TP have offered to refund tickets but other arrangements in place and no decent fare alternative at this stage. Any suggestions on how to hold TP accountable for selling fare within Star Alliance and honoring same.

Ask TP to issue the ticket using the CO flight number instead of the codeshare number.

Does anyone happen to know what LH K class maps to on SQ? I have an LH-issued itinerary with one SQ-operated leg and am trying to work out which of my FFPs I'll credit it to...I wrote to SQ asking about it but they were absolutely no help...

I am so confused my head hurts...lol

Looking at this flight


Singapore Airlines
Flight 1037
Departs: Mon Sep 10 9:15am
Vancouver - Vancouver International (YVR) Arrives: Mon Sep 10 11:30am
San Francisco - San Francisco International (SFO)
Operated by: AIR CANADA
Singapore Airlines
Flight 15
Departs: Mon Sep 10 2:10pm
San Francisco - San Francisco International (SFO) Arrives: Seoul - Inchon International Airport (ICN)
No plane change
Singapore Airlines
Flight 15
Departs: Seoul - Inchon International Airport (ICN)
No plane change Arrives: Wed Sep 12 0:50am
Singapore - Changi (SIN)

I'm trying to figure out the fare class of a particular SQ flight. Found a good fare, but of course the booking website does not list the fare class..so after doing some research someone recommended http://matrix.itasoftware.com/. is that the only way to find the fare class on these type of websites??

Getting that info for the SFO to ICN flight on ITA, the fare shows as Q.
On AC aeroplan all the booking classes show as gaining 100%
R, F, P, A, Z, C, J, D, S, Y, B, E, M, H, W, L, K, U 100% of miles

but there is no Q fare??!!

I guess I should not even care, as all flights with SQ will gain me 100% miles with AC aeroplan....is that correct?

Further, if I want to book an upgrade on that SQ flight with my aeroplan points, from what I understand I have to book a SQ ticket in Y or B fares (and also S fares with SQ) and then request the upgrade for 25,000 miles in my case from SFO to ICN. (also since the above shows as no plane change, the upgrade would be all the way to SIN..or no?)

So I get upgraded automatically on SQ, is there a waiting period or waitlist or how exactly does it work?

I know that it is a lot of info and questions, but I would really appreciate anyone's help

Booking class Q on SQ probably does not earn any miles with aeroplan (or any other FFP for that matter). This is the case for the cheapest SQ economy fares, and although I'm not sure if Q is one of them it certainly looks that way. :(

Aeroplan lists fares that earn miles. Q is not listed since it doesn't earn any miles.@:-)

On the AC forum, it is stated that LH offers a discounted business class fare with a "P" booking code - which earns zero miles on Aeroplan. I wonder if this is also the case with other non M and M frequent flyer plans?
