I still believe the use of cabins rather than fare buckets is more appropriate here. FT aims to 'serve' the general public, not just 'those in the know' of fare buckets etc.

I totally understand that at times one may want to draw the attention to a less usual op-up (like from a miles upgrade as was the case here). That can easily be done with a bit of additional explanatory text (like I did myself in post #33 above).
