Booking class information on boarding pass

Dear all

I have not flown with Air Canada, so kindly bear with this beginner's question.

I wish to find out if the economy board passes issued by Air Canada or those printed by myself shows the actual booking class for the flight (e.g. W, L, S) or a general booking class (e.g. Y) (see attached example http://www.jasondunn.com/wp-content/...k-template.jpg).

It shows the cabin, not the booking class. You'll just get a Y or J.

If from a pass, it shows that. If an Aeroplan ticket, it shows that.

I also believe that if on a latitude fare, it shows a code telling the crew that your cold turkey sandwich is free.

Booking class

Generally you can find it on your itinerary.

It does not only show Y or J. In my experience it can also show Z (biz on an economy only flight).

???


Z is lowest business. I does not show Z on the boarding pass.

It actually does not say J or Y, but "Exectutive first" or "hospitality class."

Z maps onto the former, period.

So if I understand correctly, there is no actual booking class information on the boarding passes (issued via the counter or self-printed ones) just information about the cabin (e.g. economy or Y / executive or J).

Or am I mistaken in some ways.

nope... you will see class of service (Cabin Y or J).... and the fare product (Tango, Tango Plus, Latitude, Executive, Executive First). Those upgraded will also show Executive, Executive First
