The new BA website is great. However, I noticed HBO is called economy, ET called economy plus, and CE called business. There was no mention of ET/CE at all. The travel class webpage links back to the old website design and has the ET, CE, WT, WTP, Club names.

If this a change or some error?

BA uses those as ticket descriptions not cabin descriptions.

It would be helpful if yiu could post a screen shot though.

I think is just to makes it easier for people who don't fly alot with BA to know what cabin they are booking for.

Assuming you are talking about the search results page, I find the descriptions vary depending on whether the route has code share flights showing or not.

For example, for FRA (no codeshare showing on BA.com), you have dual descriptions, with headers of Economy (covering both Basic and Plus) and Business class. Above those headers are the descriptions labelled Basic, Plus and Club Europe. Search for a codeshare route like MAD, and you don't get the descriptions above the headers, just headers called Economy (HBO), Economy (checked baggage) and Business Class. Sorry I can't post screen shots right now.

It does seem that the ET name no longer shows on the search result page, but I don't think it's a change of cabin name, just a website display issue. ET and CE are still being used in MMB. There would be a bit more fanfare (and no doubt some lengthy threads here) if BA rebranded cabins.
