Finding D fares

How do I find a D fare on VS?

If I use the VS website, I can choose UC (flexible) which I assume to be J or UC (lowest) which I further assume to be Z, since I am looking at April/May next year.

I did once find a website that list flights for airlines by ticket class, but cvan't remember what it was

If all the Z fares are sold out on your chosen flights, the website will offer you a D fare if you choose "Upper Class (lowest)".

Otherwise, you'll probably have to phone up VS reservations to specifically ask for a D.

Thanks Mike.

I'll probably end up doing just that, It is annoying however, that I once found a website that listed fares by class - even different classes between outbound and return legs.

Should have bookmarked it I guess[:(]

Hello Pat

On airlinenetwork.co.uk you can set "availability" to "full farelist with availability". This will produce a range of fares and let you know whether seats are available at this price (or not) for both the outbound and return. Putting in some dates at random for next June I got £1,388, £2,753 and £3,696 inc tax - corresponding pretty closely to what I'd expect for a Z,D and J respectively.

Haven't found a way of mixing classes for the outbound and return leg though

My personal favorite is

http://www.airplaneticket.co.uk

Gives you the class on the screen and allows you to choose the outward and return seperately.

Thanks guys.

Airplaneticket was the site - I recognised it when I saw it.

I never bothered with that dropdown on Airline Network before! I guess that I only really wants to see what was available before.

I actually rang UC reservations at lunchtime. J,D and Z for the first 2 weeks of May are £4328, £ 2846 and £ 1743 respectively. This is LGW-MCO and then MIA-LHR. Since the car wil be at the 'wrong' London airport on return if I drive, we will probably take 1 x D and 1 x Z to get limo to/from airports.

Pat,
Instead of the Z ticket you might want to see how much an S is and upgrade it to a G ticket

You could do, but I've never been a big fan of this as the upgrade is 50k return, yet the full reward is only 80k. Better to do a MpM ticket if you're not too fussed on earning miles or TP's - which will be 15k and ~£1150.

Thanks,
