Fare code changed from S to Z
 
Just checking a reservation for May and it had a schedule change highlighted in red. However there wasn't any change of timings or aircraft but the fare code had changed from S to Z. The is for a flight ATL - MAN.

Is there anything significant in the fare code change I should be aware of. Thanks.

Just changing the letter for that class of service to harmonize with AF/KL. Z is now the lowest in the Business class hierarchy of classes.

One of mine still shows as 'S'. I hope this won't be an issue moving forward.

When I check EF for some future flights, I still see S rather than Z being displayed.
