Has anyone noticed that R avail has disappeared from Sabre, but appeared on Galileo and Apollo? Wonder what this could mean.

Any update on when (and if) the new fare classes (F, EN) will be available on Sabre?
I'm looking at flights well before Sep 20 and can't see F or R

I do not know if/when these classes will ever be visible in Sabre, to be honest.

Follow up w/r/t R
Just out of curiosity, what will R be?
For example, J is full fare BF, D is almost full fare BF and Z is discounted BF. Where does (or will) R fit into this?

Perhaps a silly question, but, is the "premium" cabin the F/BF cabin, or the elite section of coach, or something else?

I know R will surely be capacity controlled, but it would worsen an already existing problem finding seats for upgrade or purchase on many routes.
Also, is the fare bucket change being coordinated with Northwest and Delta? They may continue to report Elite upgrades as 'R', and I know Delta FC standard award tickets are booked in R class on their side as well.
Will 'R' fares earn 150% EQM or 100%?

I just upgraded from H to Business first on a 777, TLV-EWR for Aug. 27th and got an R fare.
I don't even know what it is (but then, it's my first trip in something else than coach). And btw, can't pick my seat online, and none attributed. Anyone can show me the light?

Sorry, actually read the thread now and I know what R is (flight before Sept. 20th so I guess this is the old R).
Question toward seating still unsolved though...
