NZ and UA Fare Class Mapping
Company TA booked me a trip to ORD in early May via LAX inbound and IAH outbound - the AKL-LAX fare class is Y and IAH-AKL is H.
The UA sectors are also shown as H and B fares on the NZ ticket but when I look on the UA app they map to pretty low down discount economy fares (I was hoping for Full Economy SP rates for at least the flight in B, as I’m close to retaining Elite). Is this normal? In the past when I’ve had UA and NZ flights on a combined ticket the UA fare class on the ticket has always matched to the UA fare class on UA’s end/their app.

10 Jun IAD-LAX UA632 - H in NZ account statement / M on TA etix - 25SP (discount economy earn)
