Flying with LAN

My LAN flight departed Buenos Aires in the late afternoon for the short 2 hour hop to Santiago de Chile on board their Airbus A340. The LAN flight crew on my flight was immaculately put together and was available during boarding to greet and assist customers. On this flight, I was seated in economy class. There was a light snack served enroute that included a cheese sandwich and piece of flavorless cake. I felt grateful there was anything served on such a short flight and I even finished the cake.

The crew managed to perform a beverage service with the meal and then passed through again with coffee. Once coffee was served, they pushed a duty free cart through the cabin taking time to allow customers to take a look at items and make purchases. This crew hussled to get everything done with a smile as we began our descent before they reached the last row. With some team work, they made it happen.


I would really like to try LAN on a longer flight. Their coach seats are much more comfortable than some other US carriers flying to Latin America. Global Traveler Magazine names LAN as the Best Airline in Central/Latin America for 2008.
LAN has Jetiquette!
