Booking Class United Airlines

Take the polaris cabin below.

Booking class united airlines. We know united s classes of service as business or first premium economy and coach. Each booking class must be paired with a published fare that contains the rules for how you may travel between cities and the price of the ticket. Premier members also earn bonus award miles which are determined by the member s status level when flying united and united express.

Created for our customers who may be more price sensitive our lower priced basic economy fares provide most of the same inflight services and amenities that are available with standard united economy fares such as food and beverages united wi fi and inflight entertainment but with some important restrictions that you ll want to be sure to review carefully before booking. Basic economy tickets may be booked in various fare classes. But reservations systems don t label bookings in the same way at all instead those same cabins are j o and y and a wide variety of other letter designators as well.

What has changed just a bit is the alphabet soup of fare classes used. The booking class is a letter in a hierarchy and multiple booking classes are available in each cabin. And with the fairly recent addition of the super discounted n class on united as well as all star alliance.

It s still very much valid in decoding domestic united airlines fare basis codes as revenue management post merger with continental kept the same logic.
