How do I find out which fare classes the BA website is booking my tkt in?
Is there any way of knowing on the BA site what class the fare actually is, when it is being booked in WTP for a LHR-JFK flight? Are all WTP fares eligible for TP and miles or just W, E and T? Is there a danger of ending up with a class in WTP which doesn't qualify?
Any help as to how I can see the class the ticket is booked in would be much appreciated indeed.
Thanks guys!

I don't think that is quite true. If you go to the BA UK website, but select a country on the continent as your departure country (France, NL, etc.) then you get the same cheap price. And it is also for Club and presumably First. I just booked a super cheap trip to LA in CW. Only €2800!

I'm a bit surprised not to find a specific Club Europe sale after Christmas, as there was in November. I guess the sale in Nov must have been a success if they don't need the extra bums in Club Europe in Jan/Feb. Yet I've always presumed the after Xmas sales were generally the best offers during the year.
Trip 1 to BCN I booked in November, saving £50 on what I would have paid today had I waited (comparing R class to R class).
Trip 2 to TRN might have to go down the back if there is no hope of a CE Sale in the next week or two? (R class is still available, but wasn't discounted in the last sale anyway)

In the first case, watch out, as the website usually displays incorrect fare conditions, being the fare conditions for the EU to London flights, not for the London long-haul ones.
