That's a new one to me. It isn't listed in the FAQ collection.

Is it a revenue or reward seat? What class of service?

Maybe a special class they can force a non-rev award ticket into a revenue seat? Rather than open up more EN class, then book you into RN - revenue ticket, but no miles?

See what posts on your account when you get home.

i think it may be a secret one. its actually not for me.

I had my bro and wife booked in E phx-hnl-phx. their hnl-iah cancelled and the agent could only confirm them on the hnl-ewr-phx flight. she sat them in 1 K and L so i assume the flight was full.

ill be sure they add their OP number just to see what happens. i think mines on the the record now b/c i get the notes and checkin notices.

In my humble experience a fare "?"N has been a reward fare. I have a few boarding stubs that I saved - XN was a standard reward fare, while YN has been an EasyPass fare. Based upon this assumption, a RN fare might be a standard first class award? Just a shot in the dark.

My guess is that you were rebooked into a flight which did not have SaverPass and RN is a forced availability bucket used for IROPS purposes.

Ahhh...this makes sense since they need those extra buckets thanks to the fact that the new EasyPass rewards are not actually free of capacity controls. And tagging them with R and M makes sense since those are the inventory buckets that the reward seats depend on.

Time to update the FAQ...

GN has been around for a while as Elite standard coach rewards.
