Yeah, the K fares are something new just this fiscal year. We've been told that if we make our reservations far enough in advance, the airline will sometimes provide a lower fare than the normal negotiated gov't price (hence, K rather than Y). This happens about 50% of the time for me. The tickets are still fully refundable, changeable, and all that stuff--just cheaper. The problem is, since they're coded as K the E+ seat maps won't open up for the reservations agents like they do with the normal Y code. I have no idea why the K's mysteriously change to Y-class when the boarding passes are printed out, but I usually just wait till this happens and then ask for a change to E+ (if there's still something available). </font>
Can't anyone on any fare request E+ at the airport?
