U class is an economy class booking code. However, it is used as the booking class on Business tickets when Economy is full. Another example. Suppose John was flying from LHR to MCT via DXB in F class. If the DXB-MCT flight did not have F, he would be booked in J, the highest business class fare bucket. J is still business (and he'd be in business) but it is just an expensive fare bucket. Similarly, someone in U class would still be booked (and sitting) in Economy even on a business class ticket.
