what is my booking class on a thai airways ticket
Hi, ive used thaiairways a couple of times in the last month, and i found that for one of the trips i got class W, which should give 25% with royal orchid plus, but does not give any miles on my sas eurobonus which is the flyer program im normally using.
How do i find my booking class for a flight next week so i can choose royal orchid instead of sas eurobonus.
Thanks

The 6 digits/alphanumeric PNR number you refer to is completely different from fare basis. When you book online on TG.com you will be able se the fare basis (you need to click in the menu list in the right side of the screen to see the fare basis).
But in general all the cheap non-refundable (and often non-changeable) TG fares are in W or V class, often called TG saver or value fares. Q class or higher are more expensive TG fares (to some extent flexible) but are hardly worth the additional payment to get a few miles/points if W or V class is available.

Booking Reference (PNR) - Fare Code - Fare Basis an example
The screenshot might help some who have asked:
Fare Class L
sale economy class, deeply discounted
Fare Basis LRL21KR
my guess at a decode is
L - fare class
R - return
L - ??
21 - max stay
KR - selling origin
Booking reference 7QXXVF
Fare Class L
sale economy class, deeply discounted
Fare Basis LRL21KR
my guess at a decode is
L - fare class
R - return
L - ??
21 - max stay
KR - selling origin

[QUOTE=SK AAR;28377330]I believe "L" means Low (as in low season).[/QUOTEyou mean the third letter L in my example?
It could be, I have no inside knowledge of the meaning of the third letter in a fare basis.
