Hello Tom,
I only know F is first class, C is business and Y is full fare economy. Can you please show me how to interpret the other codes? Is there a website for this info?
Thank you!</font>
There is a list for
United. I do not know about other airlines, but there may be listings here.
While what you mentioned above about F, C, and Y is generally true, on DL and AA business class is 'J' and not 'C'. On AA and UA, first class on transcon routes are listed as "P" instead of "F". There are other common codes used across carriers: B, M and H tend to be fuller-fare/less-restricted economy classes.
Fare availability is generally listed by class-of-service, and then by decreasing price/increased restrictions. You can generally get an idea of what's available, using some of the above codes as breakpoints, as a sample listing for NYC-LAX availability on the 4 carriers who serve it direct shows:
JFK LAX 0825 1137 DL 45 J7 D3 I1 Y7 B7 M7 H7 Q7 K7 L7
JFK LAX 0800 1114 AA 33 P1 J7 Y7 B7 H7 M7 K7 V7 Q7 L7
JFK LAX 0700 1008 UA 897 P9 C9 Y9 B9 M9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 T9
EWR LAX 0900 1213 CO1402 A4 D0 F0 Y9 H9 K9 B9 V9 Q9 T9
