Welcome to FlyerTalk.
Although you don't see a "newbie forum" (whatever that would be), did you happen to see the Cathay Pacific forum?
Anyway, look at your ticket. Somewhere, there should be a series of letters (often 2-6) starting with a Y or B or H or M or some other letter. That would indicate your fare class.
Again, welcome. You will find FlyerTalk to be a very helpful, informative place.
Note to Randy and Moderators: It has been said over and over again, but needs said one more time. MilesBuzz attracts these sort of inquiries because it is listed first AND its description does not adequately inform posters of the acceptable/not acceptable topics.
