Bought an EconoFlex fare yesterday, and my eTicket shows a fare basis beginning with L (but my emailed itinerary and receipt shows no confirmation of fare type bought apart from "economy").

Just got off the phone with WS to confirm (in case there had been a SNAFU, in which case I'd cancel within my 24 hours of purchasing) - the agent immediately confirmed it was EconoFlex as soon as a gave them my PNR (and noted they couldn't see what I have on the email and eTicket PDF that I was emailed).

My concern here is that I was planning to credit this to FlyingBlue, and if they only parse the first letter of the fare basis, I stand to get 20% for what looks like an L fare from the fare basis - instead of 100% (which is what I understand EconoFlex to be - I think the agent said it should book in to B?)

Has anyone else experienced similar?
Full fare basis code is LCQD0LFW, by the way.
