But when I select First, I get First on the SEA-LHR leg, but I get what they call Economy Plus (which I cannot find anything about on their website) for LHR-HAJ/DUS/HAM, which books as F-J. I don't know if that puts me in Club Europe, or in the back of the cabin. Thoroughly confusing. Does anybody have more intel on this issue?
Economy Plus is just a grade within EiuroTraveller which relates to it having checked luggage allowance and a few other perks. However it would not normally ticket into a J bucket. If there is Club Europe available for sale - which you can check with a standalone UK-Germany flight - then I would call up and book. There have been a few other quirks of that sort reported recently. One feature that can cause this is searching for flights initially as Economy in the Travel Class box, which then shows up business flights too, whereas a more consistent outcome may result if selecting Business in this initial selection
