I am wondering if they are ever going to enforce this.
I know someone who was first told by his host that he couldn't have first class (in 2016), and to "check the rules". I told him to have the host call Passport and to verify that they do this for everyone. The host did this, then came back to the guy and apologized, and allowed him to book first class.
I remember in 2013 they wouldn't let me book anything but coach, but it changed (either in 2014 or 15) and they started allowing it.
