Fare class or booking code can affect the points earned when it identifies the booking class used in the earning table. That booking class determines the corresponding points-earning category. The fare type or booking class is displayed during booking and on the e-ticket, giving the passenger the value to verify.
How the lookup works
The lookup begins with the booking class and its column in the table. The corresponding category appears at the top of that column, establishing the link between the booking class and the points calculation.
The available information does not establish a fixed points amount or indicate that a different booking class necessarily earns more. It confirms the class-to-category relationship without providing a universal comparison.
Where to check the label
The passenger can check the displayed label during the booking process and on the e-ticket:
- During booking: Fare Type or Booking Class.
- On the e-ticket: Fare Type or Booking Class.
The cited information does not state that Fare Type and Booking Class are interchangeable, or how a separately named booking code maps to a category. A code shown under another label should not be assigned to a category without confirming the applicable table and the booking class.
What still needs confirmation
The exact points total, any exceptions, and the treatment of a separately labeled booking code are not established by the available information. Before relying on a category to estimate points, the passenger must confirm the applicable earning table and the fare type or booking class displayed for the actual booking.
