Thanks for the explanation, it helps a little. What I don't really understand is what good is it for me to see fare bucket availability because anytime I use a website to book a flight, it automatically selects the fare. I'm not given an opportunity to choose my own booking code class.</font>
If you know you need a fare that's booked in a particular booking class/fare bucket, and for some reason the fares that are being offered to you by websites are no good for your, you need to see a travel agent or to call the airline's res line. They will be able to put a booking together in the specific class you need, and if there's a valid fare for the trip in that class, price it accordingly.
easySabre used to let you do this online. But it seems the good die young.
