So therefore I didn't expect flexibility to be in the "Seat" product given this background. I'm aware of the upcoming June changes to the products and flexibility being sold within fare products.

Also not 100% sure why so focused on fare buckets.

Domestically just look at the price and which product.

Internationally look at the price& conditions.

Getting bogged down in the weeds isn't going to help really.

AirNZ with their backend system & how they do add-ons booking class is more a legacy hangover than something customers need to worry about
It is useful to know the specific fare bucket if SP earn is important, or (vitally) if looking to credit to another program.
