DL calls its long-haul Business Class product "BusinessElite." It calls its medium-haul forward cabin (with basically the same fittings as domestic First Class) to Latin American just plain "Business Class."

CO calls its hybrid BusinessFirst.

United's premium economy is Economy Plus or, around here, simply E+. Other than that, they use the standard First, Business, and Economy. They might brand them slightly differently on the transcons that have "p.s." service...I'm not sure. On some of their RJ's, they have "explus" - a somewhat premium economy service for an RJ.

I agree...this is a good candidate for the Wiki, although I haven't really used that much...
