If someone has a link that talks about each class or can list them here, that'll be great

Thanks
F is first class. The only notable exception to this is Singapore Airlines' (SQ) Suites Class on its A380's (coded as R).

C/J are used relatively interchangeably for business class.

Y is economy class. "Y" is (typically) the fare bucket for full-fare Y. Most people do not actually buy full-fare coach tickets, but Y is nonetheless commonly used to refer to coach as a whole.
