Class of airline ticket

[Trina]

Does anyone know if there is a web site that shows the all the airlines and what is included in their ticket classifications eg. N T Q etc? I have been looking at a site recently that has 4 different ticket types and prices for the same flight but no explanations.

You may find that each Airline has a different explanation for their own Classification.

Each Airline will make out that theirs is superior to anyone elses.

Haven't come across a site that does this, all I know is that each class will have different levels of seats and if you pay more you get the same seat just that the more you pay the more flexible the ticket.[msnsmile]

Fare structures are very complex and as already said vary from airline to airline. You can have a basic non changable non refundable ticket that would be the cheapest and are normally the first seats sold then as the flight gets fuller fares go up and normally become more pricey, the next level may have changes at a cost, then changes plus refunds at a cost then finally a fully flexible fully refundable ticket would be the most expensive.

Hope this makes sense, I was cabin crew for 20 years and still don't fully understand the ever changes fare systems!!![msnsmile2]
