How it works

Three steps, thirty seconds.

  1. 1

    Verify your email. We send a 6-digit code — no account, no password, no spam.

  2. 2

    Upload your ticket. A photo or the PDF of your e-ticket or itinerary. Round trips and connections included.

  3. 3

    Read your verdict. Your booking class decoded into one of four plain-English fare tiers — changes, refunds, miles, upgrades.

Why it matters

Two “economy” tickets are rarely the same ticket.

Every airline ticket carries a single-letter booking class (also called an RBD or fare class) — Y, B, M, Q, S, O and so on. Airlines operate a ladder of eight to twelve of these classes inside economy alone, and the letter decides what your ticket really is: whether changes are free or punishing, whether a refund exists at all, how many frequent-flyer miles you earn, and whether you're ever eligible for an upgrade.

Most travellers never see that letter. It hides in the fare basis code on your e-ticket, and a quote for “economy, Delhi to New York” can sit anywhere on the ladder. On multi-leg journeys, different legs can even be booked in different classes — an outbound in a mid-tier fare and a return quietly in the most restricted bucket — without the price telling you.

Ticket Fare Check reads the booking class off every leg of your ticket — any airline, any route — and translates it against the airline's own fare ladder, so you know exactly what you were sold — and what to ask your travel agent about next time.

Familiar stories

Every ticket has a story. Most travellers never read theirs.

The quiet downgrade on the way home

Class S → O

A Delhi–US round trip, sold as one economy fare. The outbound legs were booked in class S — mid-ladder, changeable for a fee. The return legs were quietly in class O, the airline's most restricted bucket. Same invoice line, two different tickets. The traveller found out at Chicago, when a schedule change cost a fee the outbound half wouldn't have.

The refund that came back as ₹4,100

Basic/Restricted

An assignment slipped by six weeks, so she cancelled her ₹78,000 Mumbai–London ticket two days after booking. The agent had put her in a basic bucket: non-refundable, no exceptions. What came back was the taxes — ₹4,100. A Standard-tier fare on the same flight was ₹6,000 more and would have refunded almost all of it.

The miles that never showed up

25% earning

Twenty-two thousand kilometres flown to the US and back; the frequent-flyer statement credited a quarter of it. Deep-discount booking classes often earn 25% mileage — or none. He'd been planning status on full miles. The letter on the ticket had decided otherwise months earlier.

Composite stories — the routes, classes, and outcomes are the patterns real tickets show every day.

Common questions

FAQ

Is it really free?
Yes. No fee, no account, no card. You verify your email, upload a ticket, and get your verdict. MobilitySQR offers it as a free service to the travel community.
Which tickets can I check?
Any airline, any route, worldwide — a photo or the PDF both work, including round trips, connections, and agent-issued itineraries.
What is a booking class or RBD?
The single letter (Y, B, M, Q, S…) airlines use to bucket every fare. It controls change fees, refundability, mileage earning, and upgrade eligibility. Two economy tickets on the same flight can sit in very different buckets.
What are the four fare tiers?
We group every airline's booking classes into Premium Flexible (full fare, fully flexible), Standard (regular economy), Value (discounted, restricted), and Basic/Restricted (cheapest, most locked-down), using a curated reference table for major airlines; for carriers we haven't curated yet, we use an industry-standard mapping and clearly label the verdict as an estimate.
What happens to my data?
Your ticket file is read once and never stored. We keep the email or phone number you verified with, plus identity details (name, booking reference, ticket number) stored encrypted; route and fare data is kept for aggregate statistics. Name and contact details are used in MobilitySQR's internal systems; travel documents never leave fare-check. Everything auto-deletes after a year of inactivity, and you can delete your data any time from the privacy page.
