[Moderator's conforming edit to delete since-deleted quote of another member.]
While Y is the fare bucket for full-fare coach, it is also used generically to mean all of coach. Sometimes boarding passes, emails, etc will show Y as the cabin but the actual fare class is something else. In your case I'm sure it is T as that's what you booked and the difference in price between Y and T would normally give you sticker shock.

As this seems less of a MR query and more of a general travel question I'll move it to the TravelBuzz forum.

As the OP has deleted his own first post, in order to do more research, at the OP's request, I'll close the thread. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.
