Not quite. The rules used to be that junior officers necessarily travelling in uniform (ie being seen by Joe Public) would travel 1st Class. We were once give 1st class warrants as we were in flying kit and carrying firearms.
We didn't use they though as they managed to lay AT at the last minute.
The other case was if travelling with troops.
