I have just purchased a return ticket to HKG with the outbound leg being 'N' class and the return leg in 'X' class. I am wondering is 'N' class miles earning? Reading the quote below from VS website that I should be getting 100% miles on 'N' class ticket and I just want a confirmation from the gurus. Couple of years ago before the change of the T&C, 'N' class did not earn miles.

You automatically qualify to earn miles and tier points from your first revenue flight in Economy, Premium Economy or Upper Class. When travelling in Economy (Y,B,L,M,Q,V,X,N**), you will earn 100% of the miles flown, in Premium Economy you will earn 150% and for Upper Class you will earn 200%. Some discounted fares and reward tickets will not qualify. Please check when booking your flight. Miles and tier points will not be earned in classes G, I, U, T, E or O.

** In N class all US and Carribbean routes will earn 50% of base flown miles and 1 tier point per sector. All other routes will earn 100% of base flown miles and 2 tier points per sector.

For N fares on all non-USA and non-Caribbean routes you do indeed earn 100% miles and the normal 2 TP's per flight leg [y]

This was changed when Flying Club got it's refresh in April/May this year

Just the answer I wanted, thanks. Was it only April/May this year with the change....i thought it was alot longer than that. This rule change is very good for us members looking for cheap fares but yet still getting miles.

Just double checked as it was actually March 1st this year when Flying Club got it's refresh and all VS fares started earning at least 50% miles and TP's.

All VS revenue fares that is ;) Still no miles for reward, companion or MpM fares.

Thanks,
