New Fare class 'ND' and 'NK'

I noticed that the last leg of an OJ + SO award domestic itinerary I had went from fare class "N" to "ND"

Similarly I noticed another award leg of a domestic award itinerary went from "N" to "ND" and another leg went from "N" to "NK"

The "NK" leg had been changed at my request due to schedule change to another flight from the originally scheduled leg.

Just wondering what the D and K refer to.

Is it PM availability only? Is it a precursor to a new system?

Yes, this indicates enhanced Medallion inventory. There's another thread floating around here somewhere with what all the codes mean, but I'm having trouble finding it in search.

I have this on an itinerary too. Strangely, it seems as though the change took place in the last day or so. That being said, I seem to remember "ND" showing up in the past.

Coupon Codes

The coupon code now reflects the sm level you had.

N = Low
NM= Low FO
NG = Low GM
NP = Low PM
NT = Low DM
ND = Mid
NK = Peak

Now this is interesting. If this is truly the case, will we see an increase in the ability to book award flights at the min mileage required correlated to status?

If would be nice if we could see inventory in these classes on line.

+1. Delta's lack of transparency and online booking of partners is what drove me to United for most of my international travel. Although I will admit, torturing incompetent CS agents can be entertaining.

The codes that were listed above are for coach award space. Enhanced FC or BE award availability isn't a published benefit for DL elites, just coach space.

I have an upcoming award I booked for someone else that shows O for outgoing (low), and OD and RD for the return segments (mid).

Are you sure this is correct? Some of my itineraries showed ND but definitely cost the Low mileage rate.
