What's the difference here? Why does Delta do this? Is there anyway to figure out when a seat is FIRST and when it's BIZ? I use expert flyer to look for upgrade buckets and this makes it hard.

Confused?

3 letters is the difference.

No difference other than the length of the word. A lot of times they continue a flight from an international destination and use the same flight number and cabin designations.
