Strange Class of Service?

jacksf · Nov 5, 09, 5:30 pm

I am returning from HKG via NRT and on to SFO on an UA award ticket (016). In my itinerary I am booked from HKG to NRT and then on to SFO on ANA. It seems I am booked in a class that I can find nowhere on ANA site, Connoisseur class. Anyone have any skinny on this? Strange it wouldn't be mentioned anywhere.

Thanks
Jack

Fairly sure that's the way Business Class shows up on a UA itin.

I'm taking that flight in March FWIW.

UA has never updated their web site coding from when they used to name their Business class as "Conoisseur." For partner awards booked in I, this shows up regularly. You can safely ignore it and assume you are booked in whatever class you asked for (Business I assume).

Connoisseur class = Business class = C class.

NH does use C also to represent business just like UA.

If you look at NH timetable, the flights are shown as FCY, some are CY.

Thanks for setting my mind at ease. Its my final flight as a MP member and I want it to go as smooth as possible. After this I am grounded.

My award tix on SQ (inter-Asia) are also Connoisseur Class as well. Thought it was a SQ term.
