I just joined flyertalk and have looked through the tabs trying to find how to post a new topic. However, can't seem to find an answer other than posting a reply to someone elses post.

I am trying to figure out how to "read" the site that lists airfare availability. I put in airport codes, dates, which gives me the airlines and flights but do not know how to read across the page. When it shows "F9" does that mean that there are 9 first class seats still available. And as you continue across, it lists letters with numbers. Is that the number of seats available in a specific booking class?

How do I find the lowest airfare too? I can use all the other travel sites and airline sites, but was wondering how I can get the lowest possible flight for a specific date(s).

Thanks for everyone's assistance. Hopefully, I will learn how to use this site and will be as proficient as the rest of you shortly!
