{{reqphoto|of=a fare basis code on a printed ticket}}

These codes must be airline specific, Aer Lingus uses at least A, R, L, S, W, Z for various fares on their standard single class economy EU flights - just going through a few years booking confirmations. R and A are clearly not being used as detailed here...

A would appear to be used for "taxes and charges only" tickets (0.00 flight element); can't identify the rest. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/109.77.225.131|109.77.225.131]] ([[User talk:109.77.225.131|talk]]) 19:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

"W, T often refer to premium economy class, and B, H, K, L, M, N, Q, T, V, X generally to various types of discounted or restricted economy class tickets."

So, supposedly T is premium economy, but T is discounted economy?

In my experience it's the latter. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/192.195.81.169|192.195.81.169]] ([[User talk:192.195.81.169|talk]]) 23:44, 3 June 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Mixing up Fare Basis and Booking Class==

This article covers both Fare Basis and Booking Class. They are not the same thing at all. A Fare Basis can be 1-8 alphanumeric characters, and is used to determine the price and restrictions on a ticket. A Booking Class or Reservation Booking Designator (RBD) is used for availability calculations, and is 1-2 alpha characters. --[[User:Macrakis|Macrakis]] ([[User talk:Macrakis|talk]]) 22:10, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
