Hi all

If an economy CX ticket is booked into N class, am I right in assuming no QFF earn? I can’t see N class listed at all on the airline earning table.

I have an itinerary of 2 x M class and 2 x N class flights, I can see M class books into discount economy but no mention of N.

Also no joy with the points calculator.

Thanks for any knowledge re N class….

Thanks!!

Correct.
N (and I think S? and a couple others) are the cheapest Y fares on CX and are not eligible for QFF earn. Only ML are eligible for "discount Y" earn
Based on recent experience, mapping to QFF:

S - Nothing
L - Discounted Economy
V - Flexible Economy
