The Fare Basis is shown in fare construction. The First letter of the fare basis is usually the booking class.

For example.

ORL AA X/CHI Q BT AA LON BT LKXCLR

ORL, CHI, LON = flight routing (X= no stopover)
Q = TAX
BT = Shown instead of the fare. (BT=Business Travel IT = Inclusive tour)
LKXCLR = Fare Basis (Therefore L should be booking class)

The same then applies for the return. The reason the fare isn't shown and the BT/IT codes are used is because they are Net or consol tickets. The Agent buys them from the airline at one rate, they then mark them up by whatever they want. The agent and audit coupons will show the fare paid to AA in the accounting boxes

"Based on taxes this looks like a transatlantic to ....CDG perhaps?"

No...London thru Chicago.

It's been a while since i wrote out a ticket, but i think the above is right
