PNR

Passenger Name Record. Used to record reservation and passenger information.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but if you indeed purchased a bulk fare or consolidator fare you will not earn full MQM's on Delta, not sure of the other carriers

It's okay, I kind of figured it out after reading the first few responses in this thread. I'm still interested in some sort of value calculation in terms of what I lost in MQM's (FF points? I'll use the glossary to find out!), and a comparison of the extra fare I would have paid. I'll ask my TA about it.

In the end, it's all a lesson learned. I think that for where I'm at right now (somewhere between needing to fly economy all the time and being able to fly Business/First all the time) I want to have access to those Premium economy seats wherever possible.
