I just tried to select my seat for my LIM-SCL flight. The page appeared with my currently-allocated seat number and offered a button, as usual, "seat selection". When I clicked on this button the seat map of a plane came up but it looked too small. That is when I realised that I was being offered the opportunity to select seats for a group of three passengers travelling from Buenos Aires to Iguazu.

I resisted the temptation to select seats on their behalf, but I find it very interesting that this could happen. I exited the page, clicked the seat selection button again and up came my correct flight.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Yes, I've similarly been provided a seat map for some other passenger's flights. I just close out the browser and try again.

I don't fly LAN enough to lose sleep over the glaring security hole.

Yes this has been happening for at least a couple of years --- shocking isn't it?

Shocking yes, but as LAN has been my airline for international trips for the last couple of years, and having experienced Lufthansa for the first time this week, I now hold LAN in very high regard, privacy issues or not :D
