I mean, that sounds like a problem with Google.

AA has a similar issue, where I can't sort for which Economy fare I actually want when searching (and occasionally "the economy fare I would actually buy" is more expensive than just paying for F).

This whole thing feels like a pointless branding exercise at this stage (though to be clear, calling BE a "separate cabin" is a little weird since the seats in question are the same as MC), but I'm wondering if a tier of Domestic F will become available which comes with lounge access (not needing a CC) or bonus MQD earning down the line.
