You’re not paying more to sit with your children… You’re paying less to sit alone
A distinction without a meaning.
YY (until mid-October) is the only "real" fare and everything below that is a "reduced fare". But, so what?
Some fares are refundable, others are not. Some come with access to better seats. Others do not. Some come with seat assignments and others, e.g. BE, do not.
Then there is F, sometimes C. Soon enough PE.
People need to make choices based on their needs. If one is 6'9" E+ seems a reasonable expense. Travelling with kids? Don't do BE.
