| Jan 4, 2019 at 17:18 | comment | added | jcaron | @mightymau that's the minimum amount of miles you would get for an Y fare, even if the flight was less than 1000 miles. Looks like a bug in the calculator. In any case, miles are awarded by segment (flight), so check MNL-IST and IST-GRU separately. But the booking engine pages will give the right information in any case. | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 12:46 | comment | added | mightymau | sorry I did not mean to say "for all fare classes" their mileage calculator shows MNL-GRU (Economy: Y,B) 1,250 | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 12:45 | comment | added | jcaron | @mightymau I recommend you check the miles shown on the booking pages. They're shown on the page after the flight selection, and will reflect the actual booking class selected for that flight. | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 12:38 | comment | added | mightymau | @jcaron ahh I guess I got the 25% accrual rate before. I'm planning to go to BraziI again so I checked their Mileage Calculator and it shows 1250 miles for MNL-GRU for all fare classes. I think there's something wrong with their website. | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 12:10 | comment | added | jcaron | @mightymau also, where did the 1250 miles in your question come from? | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 12:09 | comment | added | jcaron | @mightymau Y can mean either full-fare economy, or any economy fare, depending on context (probably the latter here). It looks like the mileage accrual table of TK changed recently. V used to earn 25%. Don't know when the new chart took effect. | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 11:55 | comment | added | mightymau | @jcaron Yes I got the miles for all flights, here is a copy of my miles statement: MNL - IST Y Flight - 1417 IST - GRU Y Flight - 1644 Im not sure what Y is because my reservation was class V. Im planning to travel again the same route just want to make sure I get the right miles this time. | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 11:45 | comment | added | jcaron | @mightymau Did you get the miles for all flights? On a class V ticket you should get 2842 miles for MNL-IST and 3273 for IST-GRU (for a ticket bought from TK on a flight with a TK flight number operated by TK, rules may be very different in other circumstances). | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 11:39 | comment | added | mightymau | I had class V ticket which means I should still get 50% but only end up getting roughly 3000 miles. Their mileage calculator seems to be wrong because it shows 1250 for all class (MNL-GRU) | |

| Jan 4, 2019 at 11:23 | comment | added | jcaron | Nevertheless, there's something wrong here... MNL-IST-GRU is 12232 miles. Even the cheapest ticket (W,P,F,U) would get 25% = 3058 miles. | |
| Jan 4, 2019 at 11:18 | comment | added | jcaron | Generally, that means that cheaper tickets get less miles for the same route (though this is not an absolute rule, as fares of various fare classes may overlap). | |
