Coach class[edit]

Why is Economy class also called coach class? --DocBrown 03:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because the seating conditions are comparable to a coach - ie cramped but cheap. 86.11.124.189 09:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's what americans call it. Have to have a different word for everything, don't they!

Personally I, as well as many business travelers, prefer the term "peasant class":-P. Cquan ^{(after the beep...)} 01:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Cattle class" is another (possibly regional, definitely slang) nickname for economy class. Might or might not be worth including. And check the link for Via Rail, it is a Canadian company, not American. There isn't any routes in the US either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.104.9.89 (talk) 21:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uncomfortable?[edit]

The article says that it is uncomfortable. This is an opinion and so I am removing it. Twistor96 (talk) 17:46, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recommend you add a link to article on "vertical seat"[edit]

I recommend that you add a link to your current article on the "vertical seat", as used in passenger airplanes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_seat This concept as also known as the "standing seat", or "perch seat". For aviation, it is possibly the most frugal economy class. 68.35.173.107 (talk) 13:46, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
