AV fare classes for UA status credit
I am looking to book a flight on Avianca & credit to MP. From what I can tell, UA has this fare chart for Avianca. However, Avianca seems to have switched to a "simple" system with only XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL fares. I don't see any way to correlate these fares to the UA chart without issues (e.g., L seems like a cheaper fare on the UA chart than M, which does not seem to be the case in Avianca world). Any *A veterans willing to help? I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer.

I am having trouble finding the flight I wanted from Avianca's website (GRU - UIO w/ a layover in BOG on 3/18; 1:40am - 9am in Avianca's "L" class), but I am sure that after learning this tool I'll be able to. Thanks!!!
