SC Earn on Iberia

[elbarto]

I recently took an N class flight on IB, and when they finally got around to crediting me for the flight I see that I got 10 SCs per sector. While having a look at the QFFF T&Cs for something, I noticed that an N class fare on IB is considered Economy. This implies to me that I should have received 20 SCs per sector not 10. Can anyone confirm that this is the case and I should follow it up with Qantas?

For the purposes of status earn only Y is considered economy. Any other code is discount economy. You need to refer to the status credit table, not the point table.

It might help if QF published a SC earn table along with the points earn table for IB:

Frequent Flyer - Earning Points - Fly - Airline Partners

According to the IB earn table N is classed Economy by QF for points earn.

Yes for points earn, but not for SC earn.

Yes it is confusing and this question is asked MANY times. I would do it differently if it were up to me ...

Ok thanks team. I guess it is disc Y even though the T&Cs, which you would consider the rule book, seems to suggest otherwise.

MAD-LIS

For MAD-LIS 10 TP is in N is right. The good thing with IB is that you get 100% points for all Eco Classes.

The bad things are:
- No minimum miles (especially bad on the short flights)
- TPs only for Discount Eco (Y is always VERY expensive).

Do not forget to do a seat reservation on IB (which you can do from QF Silver and above) by calling IB.
Remember that the seats more forward on the Airbus 319/320 have much more pitch, as these seats are used for Business Class.
Remember to bring a bottle of water (preferable from the lounge) on board, as every food and drink has to be payed.

More to this, Qantas have updated their earning table with the following note at the top:

Frequent Flyer - About the Program - Terms & Conditions

Where airlines are eligible to earn Status Credits, refer to the Status Credit earn table. It is the responsibility of the Member to check whether a proposed booking is eligible to earn Status Credits and if so how many Status Credits will be earned.
