Now I'm really lost. LY has 3 basic groups of Y tickets:
  • Flex, equivalent to many airlines' Fully Refundable
  • Semi-Flex, equivalent to many airlines' Semi-Refundable
  • Total Economy, equivalent to many airlines' Non-Refundable
These groups are then sub-divided into specific fare classes:
Y, M, S
U, B, Q, N, K, H, V
O, G, L, T
I assume that's the correct order. Why would (I know this is clubman's question) mid-level and low-level have same cancellation fee cost? Why is there even that option on the low-level? Isn't that the idea, buy a ticket, and make it non-refundable; therefore it's cheaper?
