Does Amadeus really show "R". I thought it was hidden and internal to CO only?

Can't find any Upgrade class codes using KVS
[QUOTE=KVS]Yes, it definitely does
Well, I can't seem to find them, even using Amadeus. Or Apollo ITN/UA.
Also, are there other hidden fare bucket codes on Continental? And are they the same on COPA?

R class on intl. segments is the upgrade to BF bucket. Also, when R is available, standard BF awards are highly likely to be available.

CO Connections
Using Amadeus no CO connections are being seen, say for PHL-JAX as an example. Non-stops to/from hubs are found.

DL and FL flight, everything is CLT and IAD (also 4 NS's). I wouldn't call that a plethora of 'other routes'.
