QF status earn on JAL

[encryptededdy]

Some more data points for anyone interested. I recently flew two JAL Domestic Class J flights, booked on an international ticket as "D" class. These all credited to QFF as Premium Economy, earning me 715pts + 20sc for KOJ/HND.

So it seems like even on an international ticket, these are not treated as international flights for the purposes of QFF earn (otherwise it would've been Business)

Maybe its the same way QF treats pax flying MH but daring to put in their QFF #.
Ideally, I guess QF would prefer pax fly GK, or JQ japan, so the earn is so low.
Or non existent, for flying J that is.

I actually think in this case it's because JL's domestic fares and tickets are a little bit different to how we normally view it.

Take a look at a random date HND - cough search. That's only $20 difference between discount Y and "J class" (more aligned to PE intl, Incidentally F is 36k for this flight).

From a logic perspective that J class earning vs Y would be a bit of a steal if it categorised into J for QF. Also you have fare like Y with upgrade to J capability, Y with upgrade to F capabilities.


Honestly JL is just a bit confusing on it's own. Good product however.

Heh, if an A350 was used for QFd in Aus, I would jump onto using it all the time.
Even in $$$ premY or dom J. OnT.

The earn is almost non-existent on JQ japan as well ...
