I personally would never choose AA over LAN, but that´s just me. I noticed a radical difference in the quality of the food between that catered in Lima and Miami in J on the Lima-Punta Cana flight. The Peruvian food was good but the Miami fare was disgusting.

True. This rule apply for domestic and South America flights and not intercontinental.

Enroute from EZE to BsAs take a look at all the AR aircraft sitting on the ground. I doubt 20 percent of them could get into the air. EZE, AEP and MEX seem to be a graveyard for old a/c.

My flight to BOS was 2/3rds full! According to announcements made on that day the YUL flights were delayed due to de-icing, and an EWJ flight went mechanical and was merged with the next flight. Now, maybe becuase I was seated closer to an engine but I did not find the Q400 any quieter or more vibration-free than Jazz's old Dash 8s! The overhead bins vibrated in the same manner, and the overall noise level was no different to me. Seated...

Received this from MX today, looks like they are now a no-go! ~ I inform you that at the moment there is no agreement with any airline for the Status equivalent with us, so you will start as a “Welcome” member if you join our program. Plus, Mexicana is not partner with Continental. We are barely starting with One World Alliance and still have many agreements to accomplish.

pswissoz...enjoy the trip. As i said, the seat is excellent, so you won't be disappointed there. the food and service could use improvement...but the seat is really more important to me on a long flight. one other thing to note, despite this link ( http://www.lan.com/info_viajes/clase...ess-en-us.html ) touting the new premium business saying that they offer down comforters, the blankets on the SYD-AKL-SYD segments were wool throws....

I suppose the points accumulated for upgrade are miles actually flown. The total points you have include those plus the bonus you get for being fidelidade vermelho, which is 50%.

Thanks for your replies. For the longest time, I thought it was LAN as in LAND, but apparently the appropriate pronunciation is LON (in Spanish). phlashba, that's interesting that there are actually 2 ways it's pronounced in the videos. Maybe either is right after all! Then again, these are acronyms and not words, so maybe there is no right or wrong. EDIT: Woo-hoo, 1,000th post
