Will happily add more if anyone has suggestions
Q) You people are talking in code. Do you have a glossary?
A) The basics:
ONE or OWE = OneWorld Explorer ticket
DONE4 = D class (business) OneWorld Explorer ticket for 4 continents. The initial letter is A, D or L depending on whether it is First, Bus. or Economy, and the final number is the number of continents, 3-6 (sometimes a * is used to inidicate a generic question/response)
The Airlines:
AA = American Airlines
AY = Finnair
BA = British Airways
CX = Cathay Pacific
EI = Aer Lingus
IB = Iberia
LA = Lan Chile
QF = Qantas (which DOES NOT HAVE A "U" IN IT !!!!!!!)
Other Useful Terms:
J, Y, F = the revenue based (paid fare) booking classes for business, economy and first class. *ONE* tickets generally use D, L and A for the respective cabins
RTW = round the world
SWP = South West Pacific (one of the continents)
VDB = voluntary denied boarding, i.e. a "bump"
(or v.v.) = or the other direction
WT+ = World Traveller Plus, the premium economy cabin on some BA flights
744/A333/A343/74J = types of aircraft. A 744 is a Boeing 747 with the last number changed to indicate the particular configuration (-400 in this case). An A333 is an Airbus A330 of a particular type (-300 in this case). This is the shorthand used by the airlines and you can search the airline forums for advice on seats etc.
