ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!!!! An "A" fare is a discounted FIRST CLASS fare. It has nothing to do with a coach ticket.

I make this distinction because there have been occasions in the past, where people have purchased First Class or BusinessElite tickets, only to be told (incorrectly) during irregular operations, that the could only be reaccomodated in coach, since they were on "coach" tickets.
