A couple of questions... do the OW Explorer tickets ever get reduced (ie special offers)?
I think I found in another thread that OW Explorer Economy is considered Discount Economy in terms of points and SC, is this right and is it the same for BA? Is an economy RTW a M class ticket?
Do you still earn points/status bonus/SC on BA's affiliates, such as Comair in South Africa?
With BA dropping discount economy to 25%, what order is it done? For Plats, is it Base Accural Rate * 25% + 100%*Base Accural Rate = 1.25* Base Accural Rate?
Or is it Base Accural Rate * 25% + 100%*25%*Base Accural Rate = 0.5* Base Accural Rate?
It isn't clear in the T&Cs
ie LHR to HEL is 1150 miles. If a platinum member flys discount economy on BA, does he get 1150*.25 = 288 + 288 (SB) = 576 points
or 1150*.25+1150 = 1438?
But if he flies AY (Finair) does he get the base points only, which is 1150?
