The menu on that page doesn't (and cannot) dynamically change depending on whether First is available on a route, because no route has yet been provided and no search conducted.
I'm sorry if you think I'm being argumentative. I'm just trying to explore what the bug may be.

If you go to the search page and insert LHR as the start point and AMS as the destination, choose no voucher, and enter one date (sometimes it is pre-filled), you will find that the classes are restricted to Economy and Business even before you have actually done a search. Change the destination to JFK, and you will find all four classes available.

So the classes menu on the search page can and does dynamically change depending on the route typed in, even before the search has been run.

And so I was wondering whether the menu would change to show four classes if you type in a long-haul destination after selecting an old-style voucher.

And you will see the same behaviour if you select a voucher and type in a short-haul destination, even before you run the search.
