After flying quite often, I have become pretty familiar with United's Fare Codes. I need some help putting together some of the missing pieces. Here is what I have figured out:
F: first class
C: business class
Y,B,M,E,U,H,Q,V,W,S,T: united economy fare bookable on united.com, expedia, travelocity, orbitz, etc (standard booking tools) Y most expensive and most flexible to T being most discounted and hardest to come by.
Award Travel (I don't know if these are right):
N: Saver Economy
R: Saver First Class
X: Standard First Class
I: Standard Business Class
O: Saver Business Class
Other Discounted fares:
K: ?????
L: Hotwire fares? can't accrue miles on star alliance partners for these united flights
G: ????? - can't accrue miles on star alliance partners for these united flights
How do you book this fare?
A: discounted first (united.com, etc)
P: discount first (don't know how to book this fare)
d: discounted business
z: ???? (this one is really weird) appears their are weird restrictions with this one.
I would like to know how these fare codes are booked: K,G,A,P,D,Z
If there are other booking codes, I would like to know about them. Any additional information regarding a breakdown of how all the booking codes are booked and any restrictions applying to the different codes would be helpful.
Thanks ahead of time.
