Mileage Earning on YUP Fares?
Hi all,
I'm CP on US and preparing to book a trip on HP metal. The F fares quoted aren't too bad compared with Y and hoping for an upgrade; however, I noticed that the fare is actually a YUPA7..... Does this earn 100% or 150% EQMs? Thanks.

If you truly "Y-up" on HP, by buying a Y or H fare, which is eligible for immediate (space available) upgrade, you only earn 100%.
Quite often, the discounted (non-refundable) F fare is about the same price as Y, which is refundable. If your plan is definite, or you can easily use the value of the ticket on another trip, the F fare is better, as it will get you 150% EQM's and there are no "upgrade space available" issues.
