Can first class be in fare class 'S'

Hi,

Can a first class ticket be booked in fare class 'S'? My agent reckons a first class from Sydney to Hong Kong is in class S - which would mean just 50% of the miles for this journey

I also have one in class V - but that is an economy from Cains to Brisbane, so not to bad to loose 50% on

Thanks.

Highly unlikely. First class is normally F, P or A.

S class is discounted economy, just above V class I think!

Which airline? Different airlines can use different booking codes. For Qantas or Cathay Pacific, S class is discounted economy. First class on those airlines is F, P, A or Z.
