These classes can go by different names depending upon the airline. Economy class seats are typically sold at a steep discount. In many cases the airline may be losing money on the seat, but nevertheless it will sell the seat at a low price on the philosophy that it is better to get some money from the seat than to get no money at all. Other names for economy class include coach, tourist, or less commonly, standard, third class, or steerage. Business class is a full-fare seat. Originally, business class offered the same kind of service that a standard ticket offered before airlines started offering economy class. However, many airlines have now started offering business class service that is as good, or nearly as good as, first class service. First class is exactly as the name implies: luxury travel at a high price.
