Anyone want to answer this one? I don't have the time to list them all and explain them

Note: I don't know everything, so if there's mistakes in these answers, please tell me!!!
Fare Class (In order of importance)

First Class
F/A fares earn 150% Club Miles/Asia Miles
F = full fare
A = discount fare, RTW fare
Z = First Class award

Business Class
J/C/D/I earn 125% Club Miles/Asia Miles, and are mileage upgradeable to First
J = full fare
C = discount fare
D = discount fare, RTW fare
I = deeply discount fare, CX Holidays Business Class fare, promotional fare
U = Business Class award

Economy Class
Y/B/H/K/M/L/V earn 100% Club Miles/Asia Miles, these are also the fare class for the Gold/Diamond seat guarantee

Y = full fare
B/H/K = discount fare, upgradeable with miles
M/L/V = discount fare, not upgradeable with miles, L is the RTW fare

Others such as S/Q/G = deep promotional fare, cannot earn miles nor upgrade.


P.S. Perhaps moderator can make this a sticky?
