Thrift class ???
I'm booked on a VSPPRBW2 fare FRA-DTW-LAS.
Having entered my Reservation number into Galileo Viewtrip it returned a confirmation 'confirmed for economy-class'.
However today the system shows 'confirmed for thrift-class'.
I've never seen this. What is the practical effect of thrift-class compared with eco? Will this have any effect on possible upgrades?
Thank you for your help!
Added: Im booked on a KLM ticket (074) with NW as carrier and NW flight numbers.

Adding another question:
Both travelers are KLM Silverwings. Is there any chance to get a free upgrade into F for the domestic DTW-LAS portion? Those flights ate pretty full in Y and mostly empty in F regarding itn.net.
