Acabo de buscar un vuelo nacional de ida y vuelta al azar de Air Canada para la próxima semana, y los billetes más baratos que aparecen son K18ZTGA . Esa K nos dice que para que sea válida, entre otras restricciones, tiene que haber asientos en la clase de reserva K. A medida que se acerca el vuelo, las compañías aéreas tienden a eliminar las clases de reserva más baratas, lo que les permite hacer que las tarifas más baratas no estén disponibles.
Utilizando el Matriz ITA Si se hace una búsqueda, y se hace clic en ella, se obtienen los detalles completos de K18ZTGA para esa ruta:
