Probably within each airline's forum. I recall a list in the AA forum not that long ago. If a search of its forum doesn't turn up a list for a given airline, an airline-specific post there ought to get useful replies.

Not strictly a mile and points question so I'm going to move it out of MilesBuzz and into TravelBuzz.
If you have a question about fare classes for a specific airline, I'd suggest posting the question in that individual airline's forum.
In the meantime, I'll start you off with some links.

- Alaska Airlines fare codes
- Delta fare classes
- British Airways booking classes
- UA revenue and award booking codes
- ConcordeBoy's Unofficial Onepass Dictionary (Contains Continental booking codes)
