Changed flight on VX for tomorrow morning to Wednesday. Weather at SEA did not look good for the morning.
VX flight booked on AS.( AS showed it as P fare (discounted First) on my mileage plan account.)
VX changed flight today and on their site, my Elevate account shows FIRST CLASS under itinerary.
My Mileage Plan account on AS shows it as (C) coach.
VX fare class C is a first class fare. I May have to make some calls to make sure I get class of service bonus.
/don;t know if this helps the question of finding fare onVX reservations.
I think Confirmation Code and a call to VX would do it.

That was my question upthread. How do you know if you buy a D/C/J? D earns 50% cabin bonus but C/J earn 75%. There is no way to see which code you are booking so how does one know whether they will earn 50% or 75% bonus? Or if it credits correctly after the fact?

All i can tell so far is J is fully refundable. C/D appear to be discount F (non refundable but fully changeable) so that still doesn't help. I was hoping only D was discount F because that would be easier to tell as the site has a refundable indicator by the price if you look for cheapest or hides C/D when selecting refundable.

Whats funny to me is lowest coach that last week of Feb is $69 and March 1 is $99 for lowest Y and the $99 is listed as Sale while the $69 are not sale
Kind of like WN when sale price isn't the lowest availableCode:
