OP: on any typical flight there are many possible types of economy tickets to buy (fare class or booking class). Here, for example is the list for UA:

Y, B, M, E, U, H, Q, V, W, S, T, L, K, G, N

These all book into Economy but have different booking conditions. Only the highest fares allow you to change your plans without some penalty. So what we're asking for is not "do you want economy" but "how much are you willing to pay for a ticket without change restrictions."

One frequent frustration on the part of ticket purchasers is that many of the sites only give you "economy" and never tell you what the fare class actually is. Without that code, you're buying a pig in a poke if you want certain benefits. The fare class can also affect the miles earned on many airlines.
