It varies by carrier and route, but many discount business class fares (booking code I or Z, depending on the carrier) require a 42, 50 or 60 day advance purchase and have the same sort of change and cancellation restrictions as economy class fares. These fares are intended to attract liesure travelers but discourage business travellers who typically cannot make irrevocable plans that far ahead.
