There appears to be some confusion between the various terms, associated with fares and bookings. To summarize:
- Fare Basis is a 1-8 character code, e.g. "G1TGA"
- Friendly Fare Names are used used by the AC to refer to the various fare [codes]. For example "G1TGA" is also known as "Tango"
- Booking Class is a 1-letter code, which is always the 1st letter of the Fare Basis, e.g. "G"
- Class of Service/Cabin Class is the physical space in the aircraft, e.g. Economy or Business
So the sequence is:
Fare Basis -->
Booking Class -->
Class of Service/Cabin Class
