Is K a new fare class?
I recently noticed a new fare class being introduced on Beijing route, I have never seen this K class before in any other routes I have flown. It earns 100% and allows changes similar to Q and is classified as FLEXI on TG website, but seems to be a bit cheaper than Q. I am waiting to hear back from ROP whether this is eligible for GUP. Anyone has experience to share on this fare class?

On the amadeus availability I found, Y B M H Q G T K S X V W N, for me TG sells only Y B M H Q G X V W.
|
I can add that THAI are currently selling deeply discounted fare from Korea in economy 'L' class. Wifey has also travelled in 'G' class - also deeply discounted.
No miles in either case, can't change seat on-line once selected from a limited range in the rear of the Y cabin. I'd guess that THAI uses a number if Y fare classes for such market specific sales. |
Just got a confirmation from ROP that K class is eligible for GUP. ^

I would love to see K class introduced from Scandinavia as a fare class closing the gap between the expensive Q class fare and the (much)cheaper but crappy V/W fares.
|
I can confirm that K is the new fare class and is eligible for GUP and 100% miles.
|
Whilst K class shows on EF, it doesn't appear to be available ex-ICN at present.

I was informed as below:
"Tickets issued in L class are not eligible for use with Mileage Upgrades or Platinum/Gold complimentary upgrades" so...what is correct?:confused: |

L class fare is Premium Economy mileage redemption hence these sounds logic.

K earns 100% on Air China program while Q earns 50% (we already know Q is a bit more expensive than K).
While on UA, K earns 50% and Q earns 75%. This seems reasonable knowing what we think we know. But I can never understand why same fare class is classified differently (deep discount vs. normal discount vs. normal economy). As far as I understand it was TG who communicates fare structure to its *A partners...? |

Since its launch at the beginning of September there has been one published fare sale and it has come to our attention that some customers may have booked under the assumption it was a “Premium Economy” product. Therefore as we do not operate a Premium Economy product to/from LHR it is not possible to carry passengers in anything other than Economy Class, should you have any passengers affected by this, a full refund will be offered should they now not wish to travel. The refund can be processed via the BSP link with relevant supporting documents (i.e. a scan of passenger itinerary where wording of “ Premium Economy Class” is displayed next to the cabin description.) |

TG has just announced new mileage earning table effective Dec 1, 2016. K class will only earn 75%, same applies for T & S classes, I wonder if this will impact GUP eligibility as previously T/S/K are GUP eligible when they still earn at 100%.

Could someone let me know if a K & Q fare from ICN would get the same luggage allowance?
Are there any other differences, apart from the mileage earned and eligibility for upgrade? Thanks |
