Reward booking class U or I ?

[Spongbob]

Hi, a silly question that I should know the answer to, and I cannot find a simple explanation on AFF.

I made some reward bookings early in 2014 for domestic flights. All the flights are showing "U" class, but I think some were booked as Classic Awards and not as a MASA. So should the Classic bookings be in "I" class?

Cheers.

No, I is a revenue fare. U is the Awards and Upgrade fare.

No, I is a revenue fare. U is the Awards and Upgrade fare.

Thanks mannej. OK, so how does a pax or QF differentiate between a Classic bookings and a (now withdrawn) JASA if they are both allocated "U" class?

What he said ^^^^^.

Edit: and to clarify, I is a deep discount J fare bucket.

It was a bit of back-end magic that didn't always work properly.

This should be my last comment on this topic. The QF website states points and status credits are earned with U class "when booked as an Any Seat Award only".

So I guess this means QF know the difference between a Classic and mASA booking, but it is not always clear for the pax?

Its frequent flyer points and status credits, not status points and status credits.

Thanks for the advice AP, but the sentence reads "The QF website states ... "

Correct, only the QF system knows for sure .

Many moons ago, I class was used for group bookings in the Y cabin. Just a bit of trivia for you on a Wednesday afternoon.

Actually it's the other way around. From the numerous reports of missing mASA points, it seems that usually the pax knows better than the system

Check your QFF activity.

A classic award transaction is similar to this:

[TABLE="class: basic"]
[TR="class: underline1 alt"]
[TD] 21 APR 14 [/TD]
[TD] CLASSIC AWARD POINTS DEDUCTION 1
PASSENGER REF xx_xx_
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

A JASA is similar to this:

[TABLE="class: basic"]
[TR="class: underline1"]
[TD] 23 JUN 14 [/TD]
[TD] QANTAS & JETSTAR ANY SEAT AWARD 1 ADT
REF xx_xx_
[/TD]
[/TR]
