Thank you, JLaw and everyone ... I do just buy the ticket but I generally only fly tatl and have been recording FBCs since last fall. Sometimes they're split (outbound different than in), and fares seem to change or correspond to the specific FBC. HKXANE is sometimes a good one-upgradeable and not too high a fare. The first letter has always corresponded to the fare bucket.
