Yes, I know B is unrestricted and Z is restricted, but intenationally, B costs less than Z, as it should.

For p.s. flights I'm looking at in December JFK-SFO, round trip prices are:

B (BUA): $2390.91
Z (ZUANX): $1316.90

Heck, even M costs more than Z:

M (MUA): $1616.91

By the way, M is the fare I get when I choose "No Restrictions".

I don't see a QUAUP anywhere in the p.s. markets. Have they switched to using Z instead? If so, it would make sense "Z would be the new QUP", lower than the "higher" (YBM) fare buckets. For what it's worth, B-fares I've seen are in line elsewhere on the domestic front.
