my friend booked his wife with her hebrew name... assuming hes gonna have to pay the name change fee unless they feel sorry that hes a college student on his honeymoon

I did that for my cousin and we needed to cancel it because they would change the name....BH I used our names correctly minus the middle part.

What's the fare class? And what do you use miles for?
I, too, am in K. I'm pretty diversified /eclectic in my mile usage. I use Avios and SW for domestic. But I also just booked my child on a RT BOS-SFO using UA MP. And I used MP last summer for FRA-BOS in Y. I use a lot of UR for Hyatt. And I use SPG for SPG properties.

I'm familiar and comfortable with MP, and I know I could use them. I just wonder if I should be branching  outside my comfort zone to start accumulating and using a different SA program.

(And sorry if I have gone off topic, but it still relates to the question of how to credit this glitch trip). Thanks!

Where did you come from?  :P

It's a booking class. Same seat. Should say it on your confirmation &/or eticket

Doesn't say. I can't find it anyway. 

Any practical difference for me?

Only regarding crediting miles and upgrades AFAIK.

But I'm no expert in booking classes especially for AC

I can see it on aircanada.com

I'm on tango,k class. Looks like I only get half the miles. I didn't even know such a thing existed that you pay for a ticket and don't get the miles. weird.

I guess UA.  I don't currently have any AC, so 10k miles in an account won't do me much.

And to close the loop, miles upgrades are only available if you booked on Fare Class Y, B, or O.  So that's off the table. https://www.aircanada.com/en/aeroplan/upgrades/staralliance_upgrade_awards.html
