Abbreviations
 

OK, dumb question, but can't work this one out. Seems to be mainly used by Americans. I am not familiar with the terms in Australia. Have tried to figure it out & tried Google too.
So please what does GFC & BFC stand for in relation to flights?
Am thinking first class, business class, global?
It has me beat am sure I will feel like an idiot when someone tells me.
Thanks

Look here for abbreviations - jargon http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/glossary.php

GFC & BFC may to a specfic airline ffp. Terms I am not used to.

Nothing there under the glossary.
Think it may be related to United Airlines & it may be some antiquated, last few decades terminology someone uses for who knows what reason.

It may be Global First Class/Cabin and BusinessFirst Class/Cabin. United's name for (international) F and C.

BTW, welcome to FT, phaze1 :)

Thanks
So Global pertains to International ????
Sorry, I really still don't understand the distinction
It is beyond me & I wonder if it is not a passenger idiosyncrasy???

Yeah. These would be the terms UA uses for their international premium cabins.

GF (=global first) is real first class

BF (=business first) is actually business class, NOT FIRST despite the name.

Welcome to FT, phaze1!

Since your questions have been answered I am closing this thread.
