Of course, that statement is almost meaningless in today's air travel market. 
There is no objective way to identify "the lowest coach class fare" for a given 
journey. The market is dynamic and global; the price can change hourly;  there 
are no historical records; the prices available to you depend on your booking 
system anyway. As written the statement helps no-one and merely creates 
uncertainty for everyone involved, including TDF.

It would be better to say:
"TDF will reimburse or pay the cost of your flight on condition you commit to 
using the lowest cost coach fare reasonably available to you" 
if that's what you mean, or
"TDF will contribute to your air travel costs an amount no more than the 
lowest-cost coach fare it would be reasonable to buy, as agreed in advance with 
the Board or its nominated agent"
if you actually are happy to contribute towards higher cost fares.
