I didn't have a specific context in mind: This question came to my attention when I was told a BA ticket I had on hold did not qualify for seat selection (only full fare tickets - which means FAJCYW apparantly) because it booked into "D" class (which is the 2nd lowest Business fare bucket.) Yet, it was listed as an "unrestricted fare" and had no penalties.

I guess another context would be in terms of the Amex 2 for 1 deal.
