I briefly considered going to the glossary for translation purposes, but instead just gave up, realizing that it might easily take me 30 minutes to translate and decipher the codes in this message.
Seriously? That is the basics of UG = upgrade, BP= boarding pass and the rest are fare classes. The latter is what you need to learn to really understand a lot of what is going on on the boards. That is where the cost of your ticket, your place in most upgrade queues, whether upgrade space is available and whether you're even eligible to upgrade all comes into play.
