Booking classes for * RTW
Quick one for the Star experts...
Not very familiar with * RTWs -- I know that OW books into L for its Y-class trips... what does * use? (Trying to figure out mileage earnings...

BD - Q
NH - B (Int'l); Y (Dom)
OZ - M (Int'l); Y (Dom)
UA - B

Also note those classes are for the YRWSTAR1/2/.3 fares. The StarLITE (26k) fare, sometimes known as STARSPCL fare, books in lower availability booking classes, eg: H on UA, W on BD....

RTW Biz cabin is booked in D on all carriers except AC (C) and NH OZ and TG domestic flights. RTW in F is A on the carriers that operate F cabins, or else book down to the Biz cabin class if no F cabin operated.

"On sectors where First/Business Class is not offered/available at the time of booking passengers will be accommodated in the next lower class. No refund will apply. Exception: on sectors within/between USA/Canada where Business Class is not offered passengers will be accommodated in First Class subject to availability of seats at the time of booking. In the event First Class seats are not offered/available no refund will apply."
So, unless there is some small print somewhere making Caribbean islands a special case, it looks like you go down. :-(
