It matters (I think as it says in the EC booklet):
WT (Y B H) to WT+ *0.5miles
WT+ (W T) To CW *0.5miles
Traveller (Y B H) to CE *1.0miles
WT (Y B H) to CW *1.0miles (where no WT+ offered)
Club (J C D I) to First *1.0miles
I think that the first letter of the fare code is the class.
Or you can check on itn what fares are available as you should have been put in the lowest possible class bucket avaialble unless you selected flexible fares and then it will be one of the above.
Hope this helps</font>
Well, yeah - the fare code is important. When I book on the USAir website, I click on the fare info icon and it tells me what the fare basis is, and that gives me the fare class.
So, how do I find similar information on the BA website? They provide ticket info by price (which, I suspect, most of their economy customers are interested in), but I'd like to be able to select a fare based on the fare class, for the very reason of assessing the upgrade possibilities.
