I'm sure this has been listed elswehere but I've searched and searched and can't find them.

In answer to my own question, I searched the web and found this:Fare Classes and Codes
Class Description
A Full-fare First Class
C Full-fare First Class on International flights with no BusinessFirst
D Domestic Upgrade portion of BusinessFirst itinerary (or discounted BizFirst)
E Reward First Class and Upgrade BusinessFirst
F Upgradeable First Class
Y Full-fare, unrestricted refundable coach
H Slightly Discounted non-refundable coach
K Non-Refundable Coach
B Non-Refundable Coach
V Non-Refundable Coach
Q Non-Refundable Coach
T Non-Refundable Coach (this class is used to match low fare carrier fare sales and is the cheapest available)
U Easypass BusinessFirst

Domestic
All fares can be upgraded. Elite and mileage upgrades come from F. Gold and Platinum Y-fare upgrades come from A. Onepass mileage upgrades come from E.

International
International flight classes J, D, and Z replace A, D, and F, respectively. BusinessFirst seats for upgrades is a class R which does not show in ITN but is equivalent to Z at most times. H and K fares are upgradable to R class. Y fares are upgradable to Z class.
Sometimes, Z can be a highly discounted BusinessFirst fare.

Misc
V, Q and T are usally excluded from promotions and bonuses

Fare Codes
Fare codes beginning wth "QL" are refundable. Having "NR" or "IP" at the end of a fare code is an indication that the fare is non-refundable.

Does anyone know what M class is?

I'm pretty sure that's the code for a standard domestic reward seat in Coach.

While we are at it? What's G?

Yes, this has been discussed extensively. What are you searching under? Here are some of the threads I've come up with:

Continental Fare Categories
What are the fare codes for OnePass-award seats
itn.net fare basis code translation assistance
Seat Availability/ITN
Airline Class of Service Codes
Codes on FlyAOW.com
Reward Fare Codes
Fares/Flight Class
Is "T" class the lowest fare class?
Very Quick Q: Fare codes
Am Ex / ITN codes
Codes for ITN
How can you tell what type of fare you have?
ITN Fare Basis Code Search
Fare Codes Explained?

...and many, many more threads are available using search.

I don't remember exactly what I used but I know I did not use "fare" or "ITN". I believe I used "Continental ticketing codes" or "Continental Codes" or something similar. I started figuring out the terms once I did a few web searches...

Keep it simple, here are some tips for a successful search:

1) Don't include "CO" or "Continental" in your search of the Continental forum-- it is redundant.

2) Try searching using the singular form of the word

3) Use only one or two words in the search. If the search returns too many hits, search again making it just a little more specific.

4) Don't bother searching for "the," "and," "it," single letters, etc.

5) Remember, search is simply looking for a string of charachters matching the string of charachters you input. It relies on you for the common sense. Search can be a wonderful tool, but only if you let it.
