Booking codes (fare class) for Comfort Class?
What are the CC booking codes? I'd like to do an ITA search, and ITA doesn't recognize CC as premium economy (yet). I'm looking mostly at LHR-IST-HKG.

Thanks!

I just checked expert flyer, and it had 3 codes that booked into Premium. U, A, and Z. i knew A and U, but Z surprised me.

I think it's actually U, A, and O now. I flew a couple of weeks ago and had to buy a new ticket on the spot at LAX and it was in "O" class.

Which is causing all manner of confusion right now, since O is supposed to be *A First award.

Yes, I think that is what is holding up my miles from posting to UA. It's quite frustrating.

Similarly, it's causing many people to think they have a First redemption, only to be told upon check-in that they're flying Comfort.

While trying to book today a CC flight, I noticed the difference between the O and U fare:
- O books in comfort class for long-haul flight and in economy for the short-haul connecting flight
- U books in comfort class for long-haul flight and in business (J) for the short-haul connecting flight.

In my case 1hr to IST is not relevant, but if you get new J short-haul seat-plan, this is a nice option to take.

help finding class definition here
All, I tried the search but no luck. I think at some point a long time ago a post had informaiton on the fair class for CC.

I jsut booked a flight leaving this sunday from LAX and I was given 2 different fare classes. class O for LAX-IST, class U for IST-LAX. what is the difference and what are my chances of getting upgraded.

In regards to pricing: U > O > A

Z is the comfort class award ticket category for TK.

Edit: Sorry, I now realize this was an old question!

it depends on the availability of each booking class.

Thanks!
A little peace of advice.

If you like to check your class of booking,''Click the Back Button''when you got to the site with '' Passenger Details ''.
After pressing back you are able to see the classes for each single leg.

If someone thinks that's weird,I absolutely agree !
