Imagine you are bidding on a first class seat and you receive a business class seat. And the airline itself defines it as business class as well but priceline calls it first class?
no matter the arguments, you still end up sitting in business class and NOT first class.

buy first class ticket, but it's really "business-class-with-free-upgrade-to-first-but-downgrade-during-irrops"


feel free to complain to FTC (since this is an issue with false advertising right?)
