Booking on Expedia & VS

Does anyone know how to tell what booking class ticket you will get when you book flights through expedia as they do not know? Also how do I get the website to return a B or L class ticket price not an N or Y class.

This is one of my pet hates with the VS website - It doesn't give you fare buckets.

They only way to know for sure is to double-check the fare on expertflyer or call VS reservations.

I cannot help with Expedia but I suspect it's the same case with their site.

Hope this helps.....

How much more is say a B or L class ticket from a N?

It all depends, but usually a fair bit, obviously Y&N are cheapers as the are not flexible where as with the others you are paying for the flexibilty, is that something you really need?

Neil:)

That's really going to depend on route, time of year, etc.
I recently upgraded a Q-Q economy LHR-SFO, which I flew very recently, to B-L, at a cost of around £140. Not sure about from N.

Does not need to be flexiable just want to ticket I could I upgrade with miles if need be

Phil,

B's and L's can be significantly more than N's - It really depends on what route and during what season you plan to travel.

Here is an example from Expertflyer for a JFK roundtrip for November -

N - £162 + airport fees and surcharges

L - £360 + airport fees and surcharges

B- £410 + airport fees and surcharges.


Best of luck with what you decide.

Prob best to give VS a ring as they will be able to give you diff prices for diff booking classes over the phone.
