Note that the last two letter of the fare basis for Comfort fares will be noted as "CO" while Standard fares will show as ending in "TG".

So now it's official, no longer a rumor, I suppose.

No, 3 fare classes:

Cheap

Expensive

Not the 70 other flavours

How many themes on "Fly me from A to B" can there really be?

It feels like this industry self-aggrandizes out of fear of homogenization: Board, sit down, shut up, wait, deplane. I guess being the little brother to everyone else means trying to be bigger than everyone else. The other guys have differentiation in Y but AC has them beat now. One step ahead of those other airlines! Tallest pointy structure, fastest network per capita, longest street, etc, etc...

Apologies all if I jumped the gun on this. The communication forwarded to me had AC's "public" classification on it, so I didn't think it was a problem to share, but at the same time I didn't have a link I could point to. No April Fool's joke here either.

I'd like them to introduce a reasonably priced coach fare than can be upgraded using miles.

World-class? Which world? I know, but I had to comment on it anyway. Another word which is largely meaningless these days.

Normally it indicates a strong inferiority complex. Especially in academia.

Wow. This is getting super ridiculous (it was ridiculous already). And of course I would assume there will be a devaluation of benefits.
Also, can anyone remember when Flex was a fixed add-on to Tango? Like $50 or so?
