There may be something about the fare structure, and the flexibility. That is an interesting thing about buying on line - not all the combinations are available. For example, a London - Nice non-flexible paired with a flexible Nice - London.

mrbouncy,
http://www.v-flyer.com/codes.asp explains how ticket (fare) codes work. All the fare classes are there and it makes it easier.
P = First Class Premium (most expensive ticket)
J = Full Fare Upper Class
W = Full Fare Premium Economy
Y = Full Fare Economy
Happy flying.

Mr Bouncy:
There are a lot more letters than that used by the airlines. As other posters have said, they don't mean anything in themselves, it's simply a way of distinguishing the different fare levels. The Virgin system as posted is a good example. In the old days revenue accounts used to scrutinise them to ensure that the correct fare had been charged for the code.
Some airlines still use F for first, C for business etc., but there are so many fare combinations out there, that most of the letters have now been used. Letters rather than numbers were originally used to avoid confusion with flight numbers, or so I was told when I was learning about these things.
