Difference between T and V fare?
I am doing a semi-MR. I booked yesterday BDL-DTW-BUF-ATL-CHS, CHS-ATL-BWI. Today I see BDL-DTW-BNA-ATL-CHS, CHS-ATL-BWI for $20 cheaper.
What I booked yesterday was V class all the way from BDL to CHS and T fare to BWI. The BDL-BNA flights are still V but BNA-CHS is a T fare. CHS-BWI remains the same. I can't find the difference. I know T is heavily discounted, but I am unsure what V is.
MQM difference is 212 more on my current booking.

Just a more deeply discounted fare. ...LUTXV
Although I have seen V fares come with similar restrictions as E fares and don't allow any changes even if you offer to pay a change fee

I've also seen V/X used for fare class requirements on specific routes (e.g., Saturday night stay, or must be used with specific return flights to form round-trip flights for vacation/leisure travel).

Thanks for the quick update everyone. I lose 212 MQMs, but I don't have a 30min layover that could screw everything up. Plus no ERJ135/145 and I get a DC9 before they are all gone.
