If you're buying an A class fare for travel a little further out, there's some good news. Next month, we'll be retiring the letter A from our fare class lineup, and the fares currently sold as A class will turn into Z class for travel on or after Oct. 25, 2009. This means if you buy an A class fare for Oct. 25 or later, your booking will be converted into Z class and you'll get the corresponding Z class Mileathon credit. If you're traveling Oct. 24 or before, however, you're out of luck.

For the love of the game, baby. The love of the game.
