Fare Codes A & D?
 

Seems to me ITN NEVER shows F available for CO flights. Does anyone know what the A & D are for? (1st class non-upgrade?)


This for ITN. looks like a wide open flight except no 1st (it's 6 days out). A9 D9 F0 Y9 H9 K9 B9 V7 Q7 T0

Ok.. after some more checking some F seats are available on some flights. (just not the ones I want!).

My understanding is that A is all the seats open in FC, D is the number of seats that could be upgraded using miles, and F is the number available for complementary upgrades. You also might notice the number of F seats increasing as you get closer to flight time - I believe CO holds fewer seats for paying customers only the closer you get to flight time...

A: F/C Seats available for purchase or Elite Upgrade from Y class.

D: F/C Seat on a Domestic Portion of an International Itinerary.

F: Upgradeable F/C Seat. Either Elite Upgrade within the upgrade window or OnePass Upgrade Reward which is upgradeable at any time after purchase.

But don't let the F0 fool you. Check the sold seat maps by making a res to that point. I have a flight this weekend that has F0, on an MD80, 14 F seats and only 3 sold. I called and was able to get my upgrade.

In addition, the A bucket is also available for EasyPass mileage awards.

thezipper, are you saying you got an upgrade on a discount fare when the flight showed F0?

Can someone tell me how to get this type of information from ITN? I registered and changed my profile to expert. Where do I go to find upgrade availability on my particular flight?

TIA
