Coach is the standard economy flight as opposed to first class which is nicer with bigger, more comfortable seating and better food.

Its the cabin where everyone wants to be, the popular cabin. All the cool kids like coach. There are only a few people who like to fly first class, that's why there's only a few first class seats. The rest of us party in coach. There is even a lovely grey curtain that gets pulled to keep those first class passengers out of our air space. Coach rules! :-)

"Coach" and "Cattle" class are slang (colloquial) terms for the Economy Class in an airliner. I believe it is so-named because of the cheap ticket prices and how cramped the quarters are in early commercial aviation (esp. during the beginning of the jet era up till the Boeing 767). People must have likened themselves to being herded around like cattle then, hence cattle class.
No worries for present day economy travel though, most airlines have larger seat pitches and a fair bit of room for you to stretch your legs. If need be, you may want to walk around when the aircraft is cruising.

Some say it's called coach because seating is like in a coach bus.

Yup, Coach is the cheapest cabin, similar to being to Cows in a Cattle truck except they get better treatment!

A separate area in the aircraft that provides cramped seating because of the cheaper price one pays for travel. For first class seating, one must pay a higher price and therefore has a little more leg room and gets better service and snacks on the airplane

It's usually the cheapest and most crammed together seats on a plane. Used to be called tourist or economy.

It means the same as Cattle Class. Standard. Normal. Not Business or First Class.
