We are on the same itinerary.
The 2 of us are booked in business class on this flight - P class was available when I purchased this ticket in August 2015.
About 3.5 weeks ago, I purchased the ticket for my daughter. P class was not available, per the KVS and Expertflyer web sites. AC confirmed this, and booked her in the economy cabin on that flight - note, this is a SN designated flight (it is not an AC codeshared flight).
Now, there is contradictory availability of P class seats on that flight, per the 2 web sites. Most searches show a P2 class availability when I look at this flight as a stand-alone flight. But when I try to look at P class availability of the 3 segments together, some results show no P class availability, and others show P class availability.
What is the true state of affairs re: P class availability on this flight? I ask, because I want to get my daughter into the J class cabin on this flight, if possible.
I'm a little confused. Are you flying BRU-FAO on August 15 as the title suggests? But August 15 is a Monday and not a Sunday. You mention in the text April 14 and April 15 which was a few weeks ago, and that you bought your tickets in August (20)15.
Whatever the date of your travel different availability when searching for the flight on its own and as a connecting flight is quite common.
BRU-FAO is under 3 hours and as on most European airlines, you will get exactly the same seat whether you are in Business or Economy. In Business the middle seat is kept free and you obviously get a better meal. In Economy depending on the fare class your daughter will get a snack or will be able to purchase food on board.

It would be nice if your daughter can fly in Business with the two of you but if she can't it's not a disaster for such a short flight.
