Currently on most domestic routes China Southern Airlines offers first class, premium economy, and economy seats.

As of October 26th, the airline will be renaming its first-class cabins business-class cabins, but still offering the same first-class amenities in that new business-class cabin.

The airline is hoping that the name change will encourage government passengers to fly with the airline after the crackdown on wasteful government spending.

Is first class by any other name still first class?
