Airberlin fares and QFF categories

[someguy]

Airberlin recently changed their fare structure down from four choices to three, but Qantas hasn't updated the earning tables for AB. Does anyone know which fares belong to which categories?

(I can't include links to the changes in my post because I don't have enough AFF posts, but you should be able to find the details with a bit of Googling if you're interested.)

Thanks JessicaTam - I'm specifically interested in how those fares map to QFF earning categories (discount economy, economy or flexible economy). In the old fare structure the cheapest fares earned no points or SCs but the more expensive ones did, but it's not clear how the new ones fit in.

I recently booked an Air Berlin intra Europe flight using the "FlyClassic" option (middle of the 3 fare types on offer). Now I see on the "MyFlights" app it's been booked into E class which means no points or status credits according to QFF earning table. The Air Berlin eticket makes no mention of the booking class. Disappointed as there was no way of knowing the actual booking class AB were going to use, and this wasn't the cheapest fare available. I wonder if any AB intra Europe flights earn points/status credits.

In my experience, Economy Light and Economy Classic (the two lowest categories) earn discount economy points and SCs. (Points earn is very low but SC earn is OK.) I believe the Economy Flex fares earn Flex Y points & SCs with QF, but they are so expensive that I have never actually purchased one.
