Deciphering booking code?
Hi guys,
Recently had a flight booked by a travel agent, so I have no idea at all which codes refer to what - first time traveling on British Airways too so ain't familiar with codes. Most importantly I'm looking for the fare class, could anyone help me look for it? The flights are:
BA 33N 13JUN London Kuala Lumpur HK2 2015 1605 14JUN 7 /DCBA*ZOTDNP /E
BA 34O 17SEP Kuala Lumpur London HK2 2305 0525 18SEP 5 /DCBA*ZOTDNP /E
Secondly, I am in Qatar's Privilege Club and I need another 70 to be upgraded by a tier. Checking with their Qcalculator, it looks like I would need another 10 Qpoints to be upgraded. Can anyone suggest how I may go about earning this extra to qualify for the tier upgrade?
Thanks in advance and I hope this is the right place to ask - there is a huge trove of information here and I've been trying to figure it out for a while now, apologies if I have made a mistake!

You're booked in "N" on BA 33, and "O" on BA 34.

From the QR website it appears you are correct that N and O class will earn you 60 tier points. If you are in need of 70 tier points, it looks like a cheap flight like LHR - BER - LHR earns 10 tier points for the lowest fare class on BA and 16 for a higher fare class.
Right now you can book a roundtrip that looks to book into "O" class (earning 16 tier points on QR) for $212 for a same day weekend turn.
That would probably be the easiest way to get the extra tier points needed to get to the next level.
