You would also be in economy if traveling on an A class or D class ticket, thanks to the latest OWE rule changes (all domestic chile flights are only in economy, regardless of fare paid, on OWE tickets on LA). I am boycotting LA in protest of this ridiculous policy (called fraud and theft in other more civilized countries -- as it is retroactive to tickets issued prior to the rule existing). So I can only fly to SCL on AA metal, LA cannot get a penny of revenue from me!
LA has essentially moved to a ONE CLASS domestic service - this is true even on 2 cabin planes with a J cabin - it will either stay empty or seats given to certain preferred passengers but with a Y service. In fact, even on the SCL/IPC routing a US-based travel agent couldn't even sell you a J seat (although there are J seats w/J service on this route).
Accordingly, its not fraud - its them not selling you a product that does not exist - and letting you know in advance. You cannot buy a front cabin ticket in Chile for travel within Chile at any price (not including IPC).
