X is the new version of the familiar cheap R ticket. R is a sale/net fare. X is the same, but on permanently low @erfare price. Both can be changed for €50 on the return segment, and upgraded to a higher V/M/K/H/B/Y fare if required.

I'm curious about the @erfare thing. On the web site the only @erfares seem to be for North American routes and the other conditions are pretty restrictive - e.g. no TAB points!

At the moment European fares seem to be just normal fares but who knows when that might change. The 60 points I get per leg for a cheap AMS-DUB trip are almost worthless but if I got nothing at all I might be sorely tempted to book some combination of flights on KLM / BD instead.
