Just FYI.....flight 951 IAD-SFO is a 2 class 757! That flight number originates in Brussels. It shows the C class booking code for C class international connections. Even though at first glance it looks like a 3-class bird it is actually a 2 cabin aircraft. Up until about a week ago, we were using a 2 class 767 on this route.
