Good point. I checked using 'business' in the search option and that flight didn't come up. Could it be that they've upgraded some Gold/Silver/etc passengers from economy? When I looked at the seat plan for economy, the flight was practically empty.

Actually I am flying for work and could only opt for economy. I am forking out for business out of my own pocket.
