I'm looking a booking a revenue BA PE ticket including LHR-KUL and when I look at the QF points calculator it doesn't recognise PE on this route. Only Y and J.

So I assume I will get the points at the Y level? Typical Qantas....
 
Need to look at the conversion tables.

BA PE seems to book into W E or T,
Which Qantas classes as Flexible Economy along with the three highest Econ codes (Y H B)

Yeah Qantas puts the PE fares into the “Flexible Economy” category which will earn 60 SCs and 6,500 points.

Given QFi hardly fly to anywhere in Europe they're just trying to disincentive you from flying on their "partners" that fly to the few destinations they actually go to.

Which is relatively ok under “Simpler & Fairer”: 60 SCs v 85 if it had a QF code in PE.

Except there are dozens of Euro cities you can fly to with a QF code under the EK, AF/KL, BA agreements.

And even if there was a mapped BA Premium Economy code it would still be 60 SCs just a handful more points.
