Here is one example:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.0.7/Diamond - SNT: Awards/StarAlliance/JP-ANA-SP1]

Code:

SIN  Singapore Changi SG [WSSS]
SYD  Sydney Kingsford Smith NS AU [YSSY]
SAT  15 Dec 2012 | 2 Seats

Carrier    Flight  From  Depart    To    Arrive    A/C  St  Availability
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  ---------------
SQ         231     SIN   00:45     SYD   11:50     388  0   FS??  CS??  YS-
SQ         241     SIN   07:05     SYD   18:00     333  0   FS??  CS-  YS-
SQ         211     SIN   09:40     SYD   20:35     773  0   FS-  CS-  YS-
SQ         221     SIN   20:35     SYD   07:40 +1  388  0   FS??  CS??  YS-

Is there going to be a fix for this?

First thought: This is an ANA coding/interpretation problem...

I'm getting the same - but on a UA (ex-COn) flight from EWR to BOM, where it shows FS?? on a 2-class config!

However, if one does a revenue search, apparently UA has introduced an F-class bucket, which is very unusual...I wonder if UA is planning to convert some of these ultra-longhaul 772-LRs with an F-class as well??
