BE/C+ fares use main cabin coach fare basis codes and "mirror" the Main Cabin fare filings. However, BE fares only go so far up the fare hierarchy before DL stops offering them (while C+ fare filings mirror main cabin fares all the way up to Y fares). On this route, the BE fares filings only go as high as T class and you will only see BE fares available for purchase when there is inventory in T, X, or V coach classes (even when there is inventory open in the BE 'E' booking class).
Yep - looks like DL did step back from these ridiculous prices and they have dropped quite a bit still a month out!
