Fare basis code question
I just got a fare quote on expedia.ca for return trip YYZ to LHR on AC with a fare basis codes of "LLXAPCAD and LLWAPCAD" . I assume that its an "L" fare that will accumulate qualifying miles but just want to make sure. What do all the other letters stand for ?. Is there a chart explaining all of the different letters. I did a search on FT but couldn't find any.

Is K shoulder period (with H being high and L being low)?
I think CAD indicates originating in Canada, as opposed to *****UK, but have no idea why some fares are CAD and others are APE.

As to the other letters, AP is short for APEX type of fare.
