Celestechu網友所問的Q、Y、M都是經濟艙的票價等級,代表不同的票價折扣以及相關權利,但不影響其在經濟艙座位的選擇。詳細說明如下:
航空公司的艙等分為三等:頭等艙(First Class)、商務艙(Business Class)以及經濟艙(Economy Class)。但是在乘客的機票或者定位記錄上,卻看不到這些艙等的字樣,而是由特定的字母取代,這些字母是票價等級(Fare Class )的代號,不同的艙等各自有其票價等級,這是各國航空公司通用的代號。但是這些票價等級,不影響乘客在該艙等的座位。但是對於可否更改班機、更改航空公司、退票、里程給予等權利卻有不同的限制。通常只要是該艙等的全價票,在這些權利上就不會受到限制。
頭等艙票價等級:
A = First Class Discounted 折扣票價的頭等艙座位
F = First Class 只有頭等艙與經濟艙(國內線)的頭等艙座位
P = First Class Premium 擁有頭等、商務、與經濟三種艙等的頭等艙座位
R = Supersonic (Concorde) 協和超音速客機頭等艙(已停飛)座位
Z = Business Class Discounted 商務艙升等為頭等艙座位位
A, F, P, R, Z
商務艙票價等級
On many airlines, C or J indicate full fare business class, whereas discounted and thus restricted and un-upgradeable fares are represented by D or I.
The codes in short:
C = Business Class, 全價票商務艙座位(可以轉換任何航空公司商務艙等)
D = Business Class Discounted折扣票價的商務艙座位
J = Business Class Premium 不可轉換其他航空公司的商務艙座位
經濟艙票價等級
Full fare: Y, B, H 全價票經濟艙座位 (可以更改同一航空公司不同班機、退票、或者check-in前指定座位)
Standard fare: M, N 標準票價艙等座位
Special or discount fares: G, I, K, L, O, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X 特別或折扣票價艙等座位(只能搭乘已指定的航班)。各個字母票價等級說明如下:
B = Economy/Coach Discounted
E = Shuttle Service (No reservation allowed), or Economy/Coach Discounted
G = Conditional Reservation
H = Economy/Coach Discounted
K = Economy/Coach Discounted
L = Economy/Coach Discounted
M = Economy/Coach Discounted
N = Economy/Coach Discounted
Q = Economy/Coach Discounted
R = Economy/Coach Heavily discounted
S = Economy/Coach
T = Economy/Coach Discounted, or Premium
U = Shuttle Service (No res. needed/Seat guaranteed)
V = Economy/Coach Discounted
W = Economy/Coach Discounted
Y = Economy/Coach
