Intra-Europe, Lufthansa has a new discounted economy booking class U which is between T and L, but so far it should earn 100 % on MP.

Any more definitive info on AC?
The lack of clarity by UA on accrual is infuriating. I call and they say "all A Class fares earn 1 mile per mile flown". A is Tango Plus, which as discussed above is discounted but not as much as a Tango fare. Website says 50% for discounted but agent says they see nothing like that!!! Why do they make this so hard? I'd like to post to UA but am afraid I will lose 50% of the miles from what I KNOW I would get by posting to AC.

Now the website has been updated. Would really be nice if MP did the right thing and just posted all the rules, and accurately. Until such time I guess I'll have to post to AC.
The guide we have here is only a guide, and it depends on the help of FT members contributing their experiences such that we can update it and keep it as accurate as possible.

UA-ticketed codeshare AC-metal in S
Finally flew my UA-ticketed codeshare on AC-metal which was in S class with UA.
S class was not on the list of valid classes on AC for EQM/RDM so I was anxious to see if I got anything for these flights and the answer is ........ yes.
S class on UA translates into L class on AC which has 100% EQM/RDM with 500 miles minimum. It will post with MP as an L class flight segment when the info is transmitted to UA.

Anyone have experience with a W or V fare on TG lately?

Swiss
Any first-hand experience or published rules on earnings for flying Swiss?
It could be the same as LH, since the Swiss FTprogram is now M&M (L). OTOH in case of M&M member Austrian earnings still seem to vary.

I added them to the chart using united.com, lufthansa,com and a few best guesses. Any empirical data would be appreciated!

Z class Business AC....NO MILES
I recently flew a Business Z class Air China LAX to Beijing. As miles had not posted for the outbound, I questioned the Air China gate agent on my return two weeks later. I was told by them NO AIR MILES GIVEN FOR Z FARES.. Of course nothing posted. The return was aboard a 747 but 40 Business seats on the upper deck (as opposed to Uniteds 26) The seats had no foot rest, no head rest, no inseat entertainment.. THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS CLASS SERVICE.... BEWARE.
