At most airlines F is the code for the most expensive first class fare, C or J is the code for the most expensive business class fare, and Y is the code for the most expensive coach class fare. These "full fare" codes are used by the airlines as the basis to calculate the lower "discounted" fares offered in each cabin.

When a post mentions flying in J, it only means in the business class cabin, not necessarily paying the full J fare.
