LA now books all domestic RTW A/D fares as Y. So does AY, EI, and LP. See here for a list of the booking codes the various carriers use for each fare class.</font>
Hmmm, does replying to one's own messages constitute talking to one's self?
Anyway, based on some prompting from other FT'ers Email, I've done a little more research on this Y booking on a AONE* or DONE* ticket. It seems these same booking code rules were in effect last year when I traveled SCL-IPC-SCL on a AONE5 fare basis ticket but did fly in business, booked as D. (There is one row of first on the equipment but it was not made available for sale by LA.)
I suspect that this is either a not enforced rule or a not widely known rule. If D is available and you book it, LA apparently honors the ticket. They did for me and at least one other FT'er I know who flew it about the same time. Anyone else with recent experience on this route?
YMMV
