Interpreting Fare Basis Code on SQ?
When trying to book a one-way trip to HKG I get this fare code: SSQWBOW
I would guess it is class S, bit it strikes me odd that they use to many letters? Usually I would find max 5-6 letters so I am fearing that the SQ in this code is just a referral to the airline and the class is Q (non-earning).
Can anyone help me out as to which class this is?

More generally: Can it be assumed, that the first letter always is the booking class with SQ?
I found on the web an internal paper from a travel agency, which translated many SQ-fare basis into booking class. Most had the same first letter in the fare basis as the booking class except some starting with EY and YE which seems to be translated into almost anything.
H was not on that list. I actually have a fare basis HLTOPWB (CPH-SIN-SYD). Can I thrust this is a H-class ticket?
