It seems to be mostly a technical experiment to prepare the way for using a single bucket to represent multiple cabins.
We may see BA allow the use of the F bucket for AONEx fares, as that seems to be the plan for BA's own A- products.
Does moving to one inventory class in First mean only flexible fares are available in the GDS?
No. We will be maintaining semi-flex fares which will maintain the A-class fare basis code but will now be bookable in F (the only remaining RBD in First). The availability of these fares will depend on the availability in the Club World cabin, as will some of the new Fully Flexible fares which will have an F- Fare Basis Code.
