Fare Type Refunadable?
I apologize if this information in discussed prior, I did try to utilize the search engine and could not find the information I was looking for.
I was trying to find out if an F class fare with a fare rule of FA0V8R is indeed fully refundable or not. I thought so, but at the end of the fare rules it is listed as ER-Economy Restricted.
Here are the rules from NWA.com

Fares are refundable by default, so if no specific cancellation fee is listed ("CANCELLATIONS CANCELLATIONS PERMITTED"), then the fare is fully refundable.

The fare basis is also a good indicator of whether a fare class is refundable.
FA0V8R
The R stands for refundable. NR would be non-refundable.

Two things were odd though:
1.) When cancelling the ticket, the agent said "Oh, since it's been less that 24 hours since you bought the ticket, you can cancel it and get your money back. Oh, wait. It's fully refundable anyway. You'll have your money back in 7-10 days." By the agents comment, does that mean I could have bought a non-refundable coach ticket and had the refund as well? I had already checked into the flight. She didn't question a thing.
2.) I was not selected for any additional screening at checkin. I thought having bought a one-way, full-fare ticket several hours before the flight that I would be. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining!
