QF have updated the earning table to reflect the addition of premium economy:

SC's are the same as full economy
10% cabin class bonus on miles

Re: Premium economy earning

I think it is what most people predicted and is acceptable.

No surprise really but a slap in the face considering that 50% more FF points are required to redeem a Y+ award compared to a WHY award.

Cool Re: Premium economy earning

I think its a bit of a joke really, considering you need to fly Economy Y on International flights to earn the full SC's, unlike on Domestic you can use B, K etc for the same result. Cheaper to fly JS to get the same net result.

well they now provide full economy SCs from 4 different fare types for domestic (Y, B, H and K), and they now provide full economy SCs from 3 different fare types for international (Y, T, W). So better than the old case of only 1 full economy booking class (Y) for international.
