Was pricing an Australia trip and stumbled across this:
It says "V FARE BASIS" but it's clearly a "Q" fare code... is this common or normal? And in this particular case I think all the upgrade rules are basically the same, but would it be possible that someone buys a fare that is "Q FARE BASIS" with the same actual fare code and is therefore higher on an upgrade list than this fare?
