(However, there is an anomaly, because the YQ is not present at all in the Finnair "fare breakdown", and the total price on finnair.com is exactly those 15€ lower than the price matrix sees. finnair.com for some reason misses/removes the YQ from what seems to be a published fare. Bug or feature, it just means this example is inconclusive how YQ is defined in regards to earning )
None of my recent revenue tickets include YQ or YR in the receipt. It's always just the fare and the various charges, adding up to the grand total. Does anyone have recent tickets with those marked in the receipt and could send me snippets of the fare breakdown? I'd be very grateful if I could get more eticket data to work with.
Calculating fares with YQ and YR included is of course very trivial. What gets tricky is how to guide users to find them and reliably include in their input. Adding a simple manual input might be an option. Forwarding any confirmation emails is totally off the table - I don't want to possess any names, PNR's or ticket numbers.
