Meaning of numner next to availability code in ITN
Could somebody explain what does the "9"( for example 9Y, 9K,etc.) next to a class code means? Thanks

That there are at least 9 seats available in that fare class--and possibly lots more. Where it becomes important is in the FC upgrade arena, where F0 means no seats have been released and/or are available for upgrades, but a F9 means at least 9 are available--so your upgrade chance is that much better.

Thanks. Does any of these codes represent seats available for reward travel( rather than upgrade)?

Supposedly, E represents BF reward seats, and for some reason, some flighs have been showing E inventory on ITN for the past couple of months, with no apparent pattern in which flights show E and which don't. The only pattern is that of those that show E, most are E0</font>

so...to answer Cruiseluv's question....only reward First Class seats are displayed...not coach. There seems to be no pattern as to their display either.

Domestic reward tickets are taken from M class (not dispayed on ITN) Elites, however, are given reward tickets from other fare class inventory. As a OnePass Platinum I've been given tickets out of V class after not being able to use the same mileage for a reward from my wife's (non-elite) account.
