I'm not entirely certain. Generally, there are between two and four cabins in a plane. In a three cabin configuration, for example, the
cabins are typically designated as F (first class), C (or sometimes J) (business class), and Y (economy, formerly known as coach). The cabin identifier is determinative only of where you sit. Pretty much everything else in these designators refers to the fare you are paying. Thus, without knowing specifically,
I guessed wrong. See Jerry A. Laska's answer immediately following.

Nope, if you're searching on AA.com, they'll almost always be there. If in doubt, you can also check the AA Timetable, which you can download in various formats
here. A lot of us also use
Expert Flyer. There's a cost, but it's a very comprehensive website. I use it a lot.

Well, that really depends on your travel habits, -- destinations and frequency.
