I flew this exact route in Feb 2000 in the back of a 767.....and I was impressed as you were with LanChile.

Great inflight staff, good food...free unlimited booze in economy.....nice decor..etc.

The ticket wasn't cheap.....compared to other trips I have taken of similiar distances.

The only thing I really disliked was the one hour stop in Lima.

We sat on the tarmac about 100 metres from the terminal with all the doors open, which allowed the pungent stench of this city to fill the aircraft. Lima reeks. As this was happening...the groomers came on and proceeded to clean up the pax compartment...interrupting my attempt at sleep.

A very dissapointing incident on a fantastic flight.
