C availability?
Flying 16 July from BOS to GRU. Opted to connect through ORD as there were more C seats available at time of booking (traveling on D fare booked into Y for which I will request FFCC thanks to FT). When I check for C availability on seatcounter, I now see C0 from ORD to GRU when starting in BOS; C0 from ORD to GRU when starting in ORD; and C4 from ORD to GRU when starting in SFO.
Any thoughts?

I'm confused. You bought a D fare but you're in Y??

Can someone define FFCC? I know it seems to put you at the top of the priority lists but what does it actually stand for?

I booked a RTW in D. There was not D available when I wanted to go to GRU, so I was booked into Y. From what I have read here, FFCC means something like Full Fare Change of Class which means I paid for the class but there were no seats available. Should seats become available in the class for which I paid, I should get priority over others looking to move up. Or so I take from discussions here.
In the meantime, any thoughts on why C4 is showing for SFO but CO for ORD on the exact same flight from ORD???
