This has to be one of the silliest things they've done in a while... when re-organising the booking classes they had the option to drop the euro-biz 'C' totally from domestic and use only Y (the sensible option). Instead, they replace it with the intercontinental-biz J .</font>
Agree that it is dumb.

It must be something to do with connecting to onward flights. Even though you cannot buy D, I or Y fares directly on UK Domestic, they are available if you travel onwards.

So if you ask for a fully flexible Y fare from EDI-LHR-BCN the first sector will also be booked in Y. If you want discounted Club from EDI-LHR-BCN the first sector is also booked in D.

I still think it would have been easier to just use Y for fully flexible instead of J on UK Dom as dnw suggests.
