What exactly is "D" class?

Purchased a biz class fare directly from airline as they were having a 'promotional' fare on limited dates...Int'l airline from LA to So. Pacific and I have my seats assigned in lower deck going, upper deck returning.

How different than 'C or J', and could I get knocked into economy for any reason?

D is confirmed restricted business class. I don't think you're at risk of being bumped.

I have a D class ticket on NW to Bkk in Dec. I upgraded it to Business Class with miles. The Desk agent said D class is Business Class, when I asked what it was.

It depends on airline.

D for NW is a business class inventory for both upgrade from economy and award travel.

oneworld carriers use D for their Explorer RTW business class fare on international routes. CX has even a lower business class inventory category, I.

Axi - let us know which airline if you want a definitive reply, as usage varies. Both One W and the Mon* Alliance are standardizing their booking codes amonthst members. Koala

I've flown to BKK in D class on NW as well. Try to get row 4 in the middle section -- it's my favorite.
