ND fare class

Anyone know what ND fare class means? It's an award ticket which I've typically seen coded as simply N.

It means that the passenger is going to be a national champion on the night of January 7, 2013. Go Irish!!!

It might be like N, but special enhanced inventory set aside for elites. Could the D stand for DM in your case? (Are you now DM or were you DM when the ticket was issued? I'm asking because I see PM rather than DM under your username.)

No, I'm still PM. The ticket was booked into N class, it's just my boarding pass that shows ND. The second leg was upgraded to V 5 days out, so maybe that has something to do with it (I don't think I've gotten a pre-BF upgrade on an N ticket before).

Right, an agent once told me N class awards have two letter designations to show the level. What are the codes for low and high?

Makes sense now. I've always booked low level awards and it's always shown as just N on the boarding pass.

ND stands for....

North Dakota- so not only is the seat fully flat, so is the overhead compartment, the lav, the galley- basically the entire exists in only two physical dimensions- length and width. No height whatsoever.

I'm also seeing NK class on my flight departing today which is award travel.

Travel was booked about 8 days ago at high level on outbound and medium on return.

I was GM when I booked the flight but I am PM now (as of 12/19/2012!!!!). I figured it was some internal designation and didnt' pay much attention to it.

Ahem, that might be true of the part of North Dakota nearest your state, but those of us who are west river natives know that it's anything but flat out here (near DIK for me, personally)

On my recent change to my award booking for F class, I have an RD fare class instead of the usual inventory.

I think it's a change for the upcoming year, since you were able to collect MQMs on award travel - they are trying to remove that loophole.

GOOD LORD!!!

All of you people who are admitting that you booked anything other than "LOW" level awards - - - -

Don't you know that you can be banned from FlyerTalk for 30 days for admitting it!!!
