E class showing up on ITN
Does anyone know why 'E' class is showing up on ITN availability now for CO?
I think 'E' class is used for First Class reward tickets. Is that changing in 2008?
It shows up after 'R' class on the availability tool. I'm guessing CO is planning to repurpose 'E' class very soon.
Thanks,
RM

Good catch. I cross referenced several flights both with and without "E" availability with reward searches on CO.com, and they correlate at 100%.
Hmmmm...maybe CO has decided to become more transparent in 2008, and they will reveal "F" next.
Nah.

This is a very interesting development...is it possible that this was intentional or just a "purported" glitch.
