Definition in Chinese

指在售票、值机或登机时表示不同服务级别和价格限制的座位分类，用以区分乘客在待遇与可用变更操作上的差别。zhǐ zài shòu piào zhí jī huò dēng jī shí biǎo shì bù tóng fú wù jí bié hé jià gé xiàn zhì de zuò wèi fēn lèi yòng yǐ qū fēn chéng kè zài dài yù yǔ kě yòng biàn gēng cāo zuò shàng de chā bié

Word origin

舱 (cāng, "cabin") + 位 (wèi, "position or level") combines the cabin with its assigned category, giving the term its sense of a cabin class.

Usage tips

  • A request to change this category can affect the fare rules and included services, so it means more than asking for a different seat number.
