Cathay Pacific booking classes

[JohnK]

I am looking at booking BNE-HKG return in discount economy for travel next year for 3 of us.

It would appear that we can earn 4500 Asia miles each but we don't travel Cathay much and it looks to be a pain to transfer between accounts with $cost per 10,000 Asia miles transferred.

Looking at Qantas it would appear that Discount Economy are classes ML and this particular trip would earn 3700 Qantas points each.

Only problem is that Economy Light is booking class N which does not appear to earn on QFF. I am not if it's a bug but Essential is also showing as booking class N. And then to top it off Flexible is also showing as booking class N.

Economy Light prices out to $2700 return and I suspect is one of booking classes V, S, N, Q and O while Essential prices out to $3400 and I suspect is one booking classes M, L but cost of Essential is too high and not worth the effort for Qantas points. We don't need SCs.

Anyone able to confirm booking classes from existing booking as website appears to have glitches? Seat selection appears to be free on Economy Light travelling with 10 year old so perhaps just earn Asia Miles and don't worry about Qantas points.

Most of the economy fare are non earning on QF, what they are called is irrelevant, it’s the class that matters, depending on destination economy light can be in L for instance
