IAH-MXP: how do I find what fare class?

I need to go to Milan for work, and Turkish is about 1/2 the price of UA.

These 10k miles will get me platinum on UA, so its critical they credit. I initially found the fare on Travelocity and also looked it up on the Turkish website, but done see a fare class anywhere.

Also, what fare class should I be looking at to exercise a *A upgrade?

I usually do dummy booking on thy website then i can see the fare class.
I'm not sure you can expedite upgrade with *a.

You can only apply for an upgrade if your fare is Y/B.
And given (from your profile) you'll likely be using UA miles to support the upgrade, suggest that part of your question(s) has nothing to do with TK at all, but you should look in this thread from UA forum.

Yes, I am familiar with how the upgrade process works.

Was I not clear that I just need to find out which fare class I'm buying from Turkish to ensure it is Y or B?

You can upgrade for the same number of (UA) miles off either Y or B.

Y and B fares are normally very very expensive, so I think you'd be better off purchasing a cheap J or K fare, since they'll most likely sell cheaper.
