How to work out QF booking classes

[Nizar]

I know this has been discussed before but I can't for the life of me find the threads that were discussing it.
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking at a one way MEL-DXB on QF9.
Sale is $1137.
Saver is $1449.
Semi-flex is $1676.
Flex is $1936.

How do I find out which of these fare tickets book into H or K class ? I'm hoping semi-flex does ?
I'm looking to earn maximum AA miles (not AA status) as I'm likely to be flying this route frequently (say fortnightly) and as MEL-DXB is about 10,000 miles the correct decision could really pay off after several months :mrgreen:

Ooops I mean more like ~7200miles

Awesome but is super saver the same as "semi-flex" meaning that they are in H and K class ?

I believe so.

It appears H and K allows flight upgrades so working backwards it may help a little.

But what happens if it is L or G... where AA does not appear to credit ( http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/earnMiles/travel/airlines/qantas.jsp)

Link is here ( Frequent Flyer - Using Points - Upgrade with Points - Class Types).

B would be ok lol but G would be a disaster.
Surprised that H K and B are still classed as "discount economy".

I wish there was a way to know for sure before booking without calling, etc, and without using some complex code lol
