Business class passengers using the economy loo?

We edit them where we see them and as our schedule allows: as we're not an 'aviation' or 'industry' website, our readers are predominantly mainstream, 'everyday' business travellers, who have no real need to know fare codes or short-hand letters, and many of them won't know what this means. :)

Yes us uncouth economy class passengers don't know how to use a toilet properly... gosh this site espouses some elitist rubbish sometimes!

I do not think that was Bob's suggestion at all. Business class lavs are invariably cleaner, but for two simple reasons:

There is a whole thing about acronyms such as Y J and airport codes which is very irritating and maybe not the best thing about the air travel community or any other that love their in house acronyms. The military is another such community. Communication with resort to google should be the aim.

Just to address this last point: the frequent flyer and points communities are indeed very au fait with all manner of codes – fare classes, ticket types, airport and airline codes – but the mainstream less so, and we write for that more mainstream audience. Business travellers will of course quickly get to know airport and airline codes, and some will pick up the F/J/Y jargon. However, all of those codes act as a barrier to most people and get in the way of the content, so our philosophy (built on my own experience as a technology journo/editor, as well as when I was first confronted by the alphabet soup of jargon on frequent flyer forums) is to avoid the abbreviations in order to make Australian Business Traveller more accessible and more welcoming to readers.
