Looks to be V and R fare buckets for the AS segments. Just want to know what I'm getting myself into before I pull the trigger. Basically, is SQ's site going to book into an AS "Saver" seat? Thanks!
SQ, nor any other carrier, can sell Alaska's Basic Economy (X) product, so no need to worry about it. AS also does not sell basic economy awards like DL. Its only available for revenue tickets on AS ticket stock and cannot be combined with regular (non-basic) fares. It's just a pity AS gave the basic economy product the same name as the low level awards because they are two completely different things.
