Finnair sells "ticket types" instead of booking classes. The various ticket types can overlap in booking class, but they differ in service level and fare terms.
The ticket types are not sold on destinations covered by joint ventures, ie Japan and NA.
Economy tickets:
Light: Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L
Basic: Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L
Value: Z, O, Q, N, S, V, L, K, M
Pro: Y, B, H
[P, T, R and W Economy class fares have been removed in April 2019 in preparation for the launch of Premium Economy in 2021.]
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/finn...-2021-a-2.html
Premium Economy (from 2021):
P, T, R, W
Business Saver: I (long-haul)
Business: J, C, D (and I for shorthaul in Europe)
Economy award: X
Premium economy award & upgraded: F
Business award & upgraded: U
Light is a handbag-only fare, currently only offered in shorthaul operations (Europe and Middle East).
In addition to the above six fare families there is one additional ticket type called Saver, which contains restricted starting-from fares in the lowest booking classes in fares from Asia and North America.

Booking class changed
After a flight cancelation my fare class was changed from I to U.
I needed this ticket to code as JCD / IR to earn EQM.
Has anyone else had this issue or know if the ticket will recode?

U is an award ticket. That should not happen. Strange. Your fare basis should still remain I-something, but if you are crediting to a programme other than AY+, expect problems.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but seemed like the best place to ask my question. Anyone here know how AY credits AA flights booked in economy and cash paid upgrade to business? A lot of discussion on this on BAEC threads, and I suspect the answer is the same (i.e. no longer credits to J) due to information coming from AA but wondering if anyone has any AY-specific experience recently.
