Airlines usually have booking codes attached to the class: for example Economy (Y), Economy (T) etc. Is there a way to find this code before buying a ticket?

Any help will be much appreciated.

EDIT 1: This is not for a particular airline but for common travel booking websites like Expedia, CheapTickets, Orbitz etc.

    Not sure if there's a 100% consistent way, and it depends how you are booking it. In my experience, if you are booking with the airline, some show it on their website, and others don't.

    What airline is this for? There is some commonality but types are not universal.

  • I don't think that booking websites assign these. Airlines do.

  • @Karlson: I agree with you - the airlines assign them. But is it possible to find out what is the code for a ticket I'm about to buy. I called customer service of one such site and I was told that they don't have the information.

    @KL You can use Skyscanner or Kayak for that.. It will give you best price for the exact same fare offered.

It seems that airline booking codes are not generally available. This is the information that I was able to gather so far:

  1. The reservation systems of some airline companies display booking codes (e.g. Lufthansa).
  2. Some travel booking websites display it as well (e.g. Expedia: click on the "Show Flight Details" link)
  3. I tried to call customer service of a travel booking website and asked for the booking code of a specific flight but they told me that only the airlines can give it.
