Thanks TWA,
Does B4 or A4 mean that there are 4 seats available for these respective classes. Also can you give me some info on these classes and what their differences are.

Thanks

I don't know much about ticketing, just stick to the classic Y (economy), C (business) and F (first class), all other letters are subclasses from cheap to expensive I guess, but if you have eg. K4 L4 M4 Y4 means that there are only 4 seats left in economy and not 16.

this one is even better, but you have to pay 15 euro for your membership of 1 year: www.idtraveller.com

there is also another site that works with smiley's(happy, neutral and sad face) but I forgot the name.

That's not correct.
Each letter refers to a fare bucket, indeed mostly from cheap to expensive, with some referring to non-rev, award-ticket classes etc.

At many airlines the Y is the full fare bucket, whilest K,L,M,U,T,Q, etc are discounted and heavily discounted buckets. So there are actually 16 seats available...

Great site also is expertflyer.com, yet quite expensive.
