IATA cabin codes (F/J/W/Y) and saver fare class codes (X/I/O) for reading award inventory and determining partner-bookable availability.

  • SKILL.md covers Fare Class Codes for Saver… and Why This Matters
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Cabin Codes is an agent skill from borski/travel-hacking-toolkit. IATA cabin codes (F/J/W/Y) and saver fare class codes (X/I/O) for reading award inventory and determining partner-bookable availability.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: AI-powered travel hacking and search with cash, points, miles, and award flights. Drop-in skills and MCP servers for Claude, Codex, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/cabin-codes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db82131. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cabin Codes loads about 450 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~450

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Cabin Codes

When reading Seats.aero results or discussing award inventory, these cabin codes appear:

CodeCabinNotes
FFirst ClassIncludes true first class suites
JBusiness ClassLie-flat seats on long-haul
WPremium EconomyAlso sometimes coded as "P"
YEconomyStandard seating

Fare Class Codes for Saver Awards

These are critical for partner bookings. If you see these fare codes available on united.com (or equivalent), the flight is bookable through partner programs at their (often lower) rates.

CodeMeaningPrograms That Use It
XEconomy SaverUnited MileagePlus, bookable through partners
IBusiness SaverUnited MileagePlus, bookable through Turkish M&S and others
OFirst SaverUnited MileagePlus

Why This Matters

Partner award rates are often dramatically lower than the operating airline's own rates. United business saver (I class) bookable through Turkish Miles&Smiles is a classic example: a route that costs 80,000 United miles might only cost 45,000 Turkish miles. But Turkish (and other partners) only sees the saver inventory. If only "standard" or "everyday" fares show on united.com, partners cannot book that flight.

When checking award availability for a flight you found on a partner program (Turkish, Aeroplan, ANA, etc.), verify the saver class is open on the operating airline's site before transferring points.
