Compare and calculate
Compare fare classes side by side: pick a fare on Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest or United and see the matching fare on another of those airlines, with cabin, earning and upgrade rules.
The mileage calculators estimate what a ticket earns from the price, fare, status and card, and how far it takes you toward elite status.
Compare fare classesWhy your fare class matters
- Cabin. The letter shows which cabin you bought. On Delta, for example, W and S are Delta Comfort and E is Delta Main Basic.
- Miles and status. On Alaska and Hawaiian flights through Dec. 31, 2026, the letter sets the points and status points you earn, from 100% of the miles flown on most Economy fares to 200% on J; Saver (X) earns 0 or 30%. Delta, American and United pay most tickets per dollar instead, and use the letter only for exception, special or specialty fares, such as bulk and tour package tickets.
- Basic fares. The cheapest letters often earn little or nothing: Delta E earns no miles or MQDs, and American Basic Economy bought on or after Dec. 17, 2025 earns no miles or Loyalty Points.
- Upgrades. Delta Basic fares and United Basic Economy cannot be upgraded. On United, fare class orders the upgrade waitlist only after Global Services, PlusPoints and Upgrade Award requests, and Premier status. Alaska upgrade certificates work only on Y, B, H, K, M, L, V, S and N fares.
Good to know
- What is a fare class?
- A fare class, also called a booking code, is the letter an airline uses to sort the tickets it sells on a flight by cabin and price. Delta, American, United, Alaska, Hawaiian and JetBlue all use them. Southwest publishes none: it sells four fares by name only.
- Does my fare class decide how many miles I earn?
- It depends on the airline. On Alaska and Hawaiian flights through Dec. 31, 2026, yes: the letter sets the share of miles flown you earn, from 100% on most Economy fares to 200% on J. On Delta, American and United most tickets earn per dollar, and the letter sets earning only on exception, special or specialty fares, such as bulk and tour package tickets. JetBlue and Southwest earn per dollar, by fare.
- Which fare classes are Basic Economy?
- Delta Main Basic is E, American Basic Economy is B, United Basic Economy usually shows as N, Alaska and Hawaiian Saver is X, and JetBlue Main Base is L. Southwest's lowest fare is called Basic and has no published letter.
- Do Basic Economy fares earn miles?
- Often not. Delta Main Basic earns no miles or MQDs. American Basic Economy bought on or after Dec. 17, 2025 earns no miles or Loyalty Points. Alaska Saver fares booked on or after June 11, 2026 and flown on or after Aug. 1, 2026 earn no points or status points. United Basic Economy earns full PQP but no PQF, and no miles for a general member without an eligible United card. JetBlue Main Base earns 1 point per $1, and Southwest Basic 2 points per $1.
- Where do I find my fare class?
- On your booking. Alaska says Saver tickets show as fare class X on your flight confirmation, and on united.com the flight details show the letter in brackets after the cabin name, for example United Economy (N). Then open that airline's chart and type the letter into the lookup box at the top.
- What is the difference between a fare class and a fare basis code?
- The fare class is one letter. The fare basis code is a longer code for the exact fare and its rules. JetBlue, for example, books EvenMore Base, EvenMore and EvenMore Flex all in N, and the fare basis code tells them apart: it ends in N1, N5 or N9.
