Every airline has their own standby codes. For instance, when you fly Southwest on standby, you will just get a secuirty document because they just write your name down on a list.



JetBlue uses the following standby codes:



1A: paying cusotmers on standby at the airport

1R: Paying customers on standby who haven't checked in

2R: Super pass riders (employees with a higher priority)

2A: Super pass riders checked in

3R: Crewmembers

3A: Crewmembers who've checked in

4R: Buddy pass rider

4A: Buddy pass rider checked in

5R: Other airline employee or spouse

5A: " " checked in



Other airlines will have different names for the standby codes, but this is the general layout of priority codes when flying standby. So when you fly, you should now know where you fit into the big picture if you will make it or not.

every airlines has its own codes,the principle for

these standby tickets is

duty trips

private trips

how much is the rebate

as they are all subject to load,the first one out

is the one with a private trip and the highest discount

it's all a matter of revenue

Don't know if this answers your question..



Fare class

Airline fare classes are commonly indicated by letter codes, but the exact hierarchy and terms of these booking codes vary greatly from carrier to carrier.





First class codes

A, F, P, R, Z

On domestic flights, F commonly indicates first class on a two-cabin plane. If a three-cabin aircraft is used, P (for "premium") may be used to distinguish the higher level of service in first class. The R code indicated supersonic transport and is no longer used with the retirement of the Concorde. The A and Z codes may indicate a first class ticket whose fare is reduced due to restrictions on refunds, advance reservation requirements, or other terms.



The codes in short:



A = First Class Discounted,

F = First Class,

P = First Class Premium,

R = Supersonic (Concorde),

Z = Business Class Discounted

(a lowercase "n" after any class code indicates Night Service)



Business class codes

C, J, D, I

On many airlines, C or J indicate full fare business class, whereas discounted and thus restricted and un-upgradeable fares are represented by D or I.



The codes in short:



C = Business Class,

D = Business Class Discounted,

J = Business Class Premium

(a lowercase "n" after any class code indicates Night Service)



Economy class codes

Full fare: Y, B, H

Standard fare: M, N

Special or discount fares: G, I, K, L, O, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X

On most airlines, unrestricted economy ticket is booked as a Y fare. Full fare tickets with restrictions on travel dates, refunds, or advance reservations are commonly classed as B, H, or M, although some airlines may use S, W, or others. Heavily discounted fares, commonly T or W, will not permit cabin upgrades, refunds, or reservation changes, may restrict frequent flyer program eligibility, and/or impose other restrictions. Other fare codes such as X are restricted for use by consolidators, group charters, or travel industry professionals.



Most low-cost carriers have greatly simplified the fare classes they use to a handful of cases, unlike the dozens employed by a traditional airline. While some traditional carriers have followed, others continue to prefer price discrimination over commoditization.



The codes in short:



B = Economy/Coach Discounted

E = Shuttle Service (No reservation allowed), or Economy/Coach Discounted

G = Conditional Reservation

H = Economy/Coach Discounted

K = Economy/Coach Discounted

L = Economy/Coach Discounted

M = Economy/Coach Discounted

N = Economy/Coach Discounted

Q = Economy/Coach Discounted

R = Economy/Coach Heavily discounted

S = Economy/Coach

T = Economy/Coach Discounted, or Premium

U = Shuttle Service (No res. needed/Seat guaranteed)

V = Economy/Coach Discounted

W = Economy/Coach Discounted

Y = Economy/Coach

(a lowercase "n" after any class code indicates Night Service)
