I see an alphabet after my flight number. That's my class of ticket? I am not talking of class of travel (FIRST/BIZ/ECONS), but class of ticket in case I did not make myself clear.

Yes the alphabet does represent the ticket / fare class. You will see alphabets such as R, F, J, C, E, O, I, etc. These alphabets do represet fare class as well as class of travel.

Instead of wasting time posting on multiple forums and getting yourself confused in the process. Why not pick up the phone and give SQ/VS a ring?

Log on to your account and click on your flight itinerary. There is a small hyperlink on the top which states something like "View eticket". Click on that and you will see your booking class where it shows your flight.

When doing a booking on VS website, get to the "Flight Itinerary" part. You will see the "Total Fare" tab where they show the "Fare Breakdown". There will be two more other tabs showing "Outward" and "Return". Click on those and you will see the fare class.

VSFC has a different method of accumulating "status points". While Krisflyer (and many other programmes) go by the "mileage" route (e.g. 50k in a year to get gold), VSFC requires you to accumulate tier points. On each of their routes, you can earn up to (I think) 4 tier points depending on your class of travel. However, you only earn these tier points if you credit your trip to VSFC. In short, tier points are simply the VSFC "equivalent" of Krisflyer "Elite Miles", i.e. the means by which you rack up credits towards attaining FF status.

On any given trip on VS, you can choose to credit your miles to EITHER VSFC OR another affiliated mileage programme (e.g. Krisflyer). What happens after that depends on the programme you choose. There will be no link between the two.

So when I earn miles on KF by flying on VS, do I get 3500 kf miles or i get only 2 kf pts if i fly in coach from lhr to jfk
