Thanks a lot.

I'd have been lost on this without your insight. Have to read more carefully next time.

This is a T class Instant Purchase fare - hence T I P.
They also have other short forms after the fare class - e.g. U14AP which may mean U class, 14 day advance purchase.

Thanks for that decode

I had no idea there is a secret code breaking cheat sheet for this. Everyday I learn something new

How do I find the fare class for a past AI flight from India to DXB? Forgot to put in my UA## and now trying to get credit. The UA website is asking for fare class.

Should be very clearly mentioned in your ticket/itinerary email from AI. Otherwise it's the first letter of your fare basis.
