Check the "Fare basis". Here's an example: TVA2DE - booking class T, booking type VAlu, 2 for return and DEutschland=Germany as marketing (?) region.

AY has removed the Fare_Branding_User_Guide_Travel_Agencies.pdf from their site. Did anyone make a local copy for sharing? I know it wasn't exactly accurate anymore, but still better than nothing..

Does anyone know how booking class E earns?

Zilch. It's non-rev travel.

Bump! Can someone help me unpack the fare basis code SNVA2GOV? Booked through a travel agent in Finland; I was surprised to earn 100% on both legs to/from Tokyo. What happened to the joint venture? :O

Seems like it’s a Value fare and maybe for government? |
Apparently so, but isn't it interesting there still are VA fares to Japan around, when it has been "banned" since the inception of JJV?
|
Presumably S booking code, value (VA) ticket type, round-trip (2) issued in "GOV".
N would presumably be a season code, though I only know low (L) and high (H). Maybe GOV gets a special "not applicable" season? |

Well, I find it interesting insofar that VA are there in order to extract more money without offering much in return and the only group that are targeted by the fare type is civil servants flying on taxpayers money.

Well, if you want to get there, it is interesing that the government sources Value ticket in S booking code, which would also be compatible with Basic. Maybe it always buys Value tickets because it wants semiflexible fares, or because it wants a bag, and thought Value was the way (even though Basic is still available even in short-haul).
But that is probably nothing to Japan, and probably got nothing to do with the transiberian JV. |

That being said, I've never seen a fare basis code like this before when travelling for business. |
