Expedia - what class does it book in?
I was looking at a vacation package on Expedia (which was a cheaper price than what I found on United Vacations), and I wasn't sure what class it booked in.
United Vacations books in T.
Is Expedia the same? I'm curious mainly to see if it can be upgraded.
Thanks.

Best way to check is to go to the page where it lists flight details. Click on the button that says rules/detailed rules/detailed penalties, something like that. At the top it will list the fare basis code. As a *general* statement, the first letter of the fare basis code reflects the class that it books into.

Planning to book a (domestic) vacation package on expedia, taking UA flights.
Do all expedia vacations packages accrue miles and are eligible for UDU?
Can seem to find the fare rules of the flight. On the review fare rules and restrictions: says the fare rules is refundable, but nothing about the fare code and these are the restrictions. Anyone know how to find them?
Thanks in advance!!!
Flight Rules and Restrictions
