What does First class (fare class F) on Jetstar Airways mean?

score:6

Accepted answer

It isn't first class, it is a mistake made by ITA Software (unusually) in mapping the booking class (F) back to the cabin class (for JQ, booking class F is economy). A similar mistake is made by a few online travel agents for Aer Lingus which also uses F for economy.

Looking at ExpertFlyer it seems that JQ uses J and D for business; Y, B, V, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, E, F, L, A, Z, I, K and H for economy, in order from most to least available.

The GDS guide you've linked is from 2014, they may have amended their codes since then; or it may be that the F class is not used for publicly sold fares.

You may want to report it to ITA as a bug.
