Could someone please tell me what all them numbers and letters mean. I'd like to check my flight nearer the time but it looks confusing to understand

Basically, it's how the airline controls fares.

The different letters are known as 'buckets' and are essentially a way of pricing fares and allocating how many miles / tier points you will (or not) get if you are member of a FF programme. There will also be rules attached relating to the periods of advance purchase.

The buckets will also determine how much it would cost if you needed to change your plans or cancel. It explains why a fully flexible Y (econ) fare can be more expensive than a 'K' restricted PE fare and a W PE fare more expensive that a Z UC fare.
