Priceline F itinerary in J search. All legs in F?
 
I've never booked a Priceline Express Deal but came across this situation today (see picture). I searched for a Business Class ticket for several dates and always found "Business" in the search result for the Express Deal option. In this one, however, it says "First", and note the search is for "Business". Since this is an opaque booking, it's impossible to see if this is an all "F" itinerary or simply domestic legs, even when clicking through to the next page(s). Priceline CS has been...unhelpful. Any experience or advice?

Curious what did you end up doing?

Got a very decent $1000 discount off of KLM/DL’s current J fare. Really wish I could have gotten an IFC fare if it was real but I suspect it was BA which is way better than their 8-across J but isn’t much better than J on many carriers.

If we look at the list of trusted airlines in the OP, only the first three (UA, LH, and AA) offer IFC. It could be interesting to check whether any of these have routings that would be all FC the whole way to India, especially with the night and morning departure times. I'm assuming that the airline list means operated by and doesn't include codeshares.

Pretty sure UA doesn't so would be LH or BA (codeshare).

In my experience with Priceline, codeshares have popped up, which is why I invoked BA through an AA codeshare. BA flights also have timing that conform with reported takeoffs. Another datapoint I didn't report was 0-1 (1 obviously) layovers which eliminates AA unless through BA codeshare. I don't think it could be LH (no IFC from AUS-FRA) and the only 1 stops I could find with UA had the SFO/ORD/IAD-DEL leg on Air India (not UA codeshared) and AI doesn't appear on the Trusted Airlines.

Since when does UA has IFC?
