Continental Seat Class Codes
Hey all,
I am flying with CO next week: YYZ-EWR-BON and back. Two tickets were booked online at Continental's site no reward points involved.
I just noticed the seat classes for me are O-O-O-I and O-O-N-N for my wife's ticket.
Can anyone tell me the definitions of these classes, and why our tickets are different?? I thought "I" class was always a redemtion seat... Hmmm I paid two slightly different fees for them, "it" would only let me book one at $995 and the second one at $1119. The higher priced ticket is the O-O-N-N ticket.
Thanks in advance...
Rick

There is a FAQ Sticky at the top of the forum that has lots of useful information, including the answer to this question.
In short, all of those are revenue buckets and I is at the cheap end of the spectrum while the N fare you have is higher up. That's why that ticket is more expensive.

Am I the only one being surprised that CO didn't kick both tickets to the higher fare class and price?

Only surprising if they were booked in a single transaction. If two transactions (I just did that on Friday to get seats for Thanksgiving weekend at decent fares) then they would each price individually.

Somehow, I was assuming the two were booked together in one transaction. But re-reading the original post, I guess they were not.
