I know that understanding airfares is harder than understanding... well, pretty much anything - LOL! That being said, I discovered over the years that airfare (booking with NWA) climbs on Friday, Sat., Sunday & Monday, and drops in price on Tuesday, with Wednesday being the cheapest fares available. I checked on the flight that I want to purchase and it went up to $242.90 on Sat., we just finalized my DH's vacation work schedule this morning, so I will be buying tickets tomorrow.
Anyway, on the weekend, our flight had an "L" attached to it - $242.90 and this afternoon it just went down to $226.00, with a "T" booking. I thought this refers to the number of seats available, but no seats sold this weekend for this plane, so it seems as if NWA just uses these fare codes to justify price increases on the weekends. Is this the case?
I read through the entire Fare Rules for the trip portion of my ticket (I pretended to purchase it), but it doesn't explain these letters. Any of you very knowledgeable air experts out there know the answer on this one?
Thanks, Tiger
