Cabin Class?

The one that makes the most sense to me, is the one about everyone entering
though the same door, and going forward between the seats, to get to the
pilot's seats.

So a 747 is not cabin class?

OK, I'll bite. How does one get to the pilot seats in a 747?

Pressurized, Baron 58P, Beech Duke, Mooney Mustang, Cessna
P210, not cabin class, Duke comes close except it is small.

Cabin class [?] that are not pressurized, DC 3, B25
conversion, Lockheed LoadStar, Cessna Caravan, Beech 18.

And probably an enclosed potty...

| Cabin class means you can get up and walk around in
flight.

seated, same for a 421C, same for a lot of airplanes that
are called "cabin class" by a sales department that is
trying to sell a charter.

The 400 series Cessna and several other similar craft have been defined as
cabin-class for years not only by sales departments, but by operators and
feds, too, each of which carries as much or more legitimacy than your cited
article, which is naught more than someone else's sales pitch. Nice try.
Stand-up headroom would be a valid standard to start with, except that you'd
be about 50 years late in applying it.

Then the venerable and mighty DC-3 would not be cabin-class.

Starting from the ground, you climb two flights of access steps to reach the
main deck door. Once inside the craft, you climb a third flight to reach
the upper deck, turn right (usually), pass the galley, heads, emergency
egress door, and enter the flight deck. Variations on the theme if you're
flying the freighter version, but the structure's about the same. I think
it probably qualifies as cabin-class.

Through a choice of several doors. Everyone does not enter the same
door unless the airport is very, very old and unable to handle multiple
doors.

If you enter like the passengers, from the jetway, how do you get there?

Even this aside, a little common sense says that a 747 is cabin class,
without having to look at other definitions? g
