ZLEZVH6S is NOT a business class fare. It is in coach.

@Tony – If you go to TAM directly to buy it, its listed as Premium Business. On AA chart, Z is still Business. While TAM did have some code changes like A moving to economy recently, Z wasn’t part of it.
And here it is from TAM directly.
It’s only NY-Santiago or it can be Santiago-NY round trip??
@Francisca – this is a New York – Santiago fare.
