Is there a way to force a certain fare class on .bomb ?
Trying to book a roundtrip, but one direction comes up all "T" fare, the reverse comes up all "L" (which I am not interested in). Any way to force it to be "T" in both directions ?

Methinks the BOS 3X RDM Deal. I'm looking for the same.

I woud say either call or pick a flight that's L0. Interestingly, we have an SFO-BOS flight in L, and the current T fare is cheaper!

How much cheaper? Might be worth rebooking, even with the penalty. It's 10,000 extra miles.

Search by fare class
Good evening all,
I apologize if this has been discussed. I searched and didn’t find anything (I am probably searching on wrong keywords). Is there anyway you can search by Fare Class? I want to take advantage of the regional upgrades promotion and every flight I find is the wrong fare class.
Thank you,

Same question here! Please help. The lowest valid booking classes are M, H, Q. I see you can search with the M/H upgrade option, but is there a way to search for a Q fare?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Where it says "Electronic certificate or promotion code", just enter the promo code. It should give you fares that qualify for the promo. If it doesn't, you'll have to call.

On the website, I don't believe so. On ITA software, you can see what the price would be for a respective fare, and then see if Reservations can ticket it.
On ITA, if you were going from SFO-ORD, and you wanted a Q fare, you would input:
From - "SFO:: UA+ / f bc=q"
To - "ORD:: UA+ / f bc=q"

Specify Booking Class?
Is there anyway to specify the booking class on the .bomb site?
Also, this site: http://cwsi.net/united.htm
claims some Q class fares are refundable... That true? Cause I got a free ticket voucher which would be great to use on that fare.

I have bought several q fares on .bomb which were refundable. It works!
Just see all fare rules to ensure no cxl/chgfee verbiage.

Even you can't specify a booking class, you can set search criteria using "More search options" on .bomb. You will get the lowest booking class in that category.
Btw, how is your free ticket voucher related to a refundable booking class?
