Im travelling first on Lan Chile AKL-SCL next week.
Do they give pyjamas(otherwise ill pack some)
What french champagne is onboard now....
I certainly will try some reds-any suggestions on what is good.
I prefer cab sav.
Is there a first class lounge in AKL?

LA doesn't provide pyjamas as they don't have sleeper beds. They do have deep recline F seats (over 170 degrees, similar to the often-vilified old-F seats that CX used to have and which were the subject of much hysteria on FT). The champagne is 95 Taittinger Comtes B de B (quite nice). LA stocks some great red wines but none of the cabs are anywhere close to drinkable (far too young). You might have to switch to a Merlot or Carmenere. If you insist on a cab try the Don Melchor. As for the lounge in AKL, it is the tried and true Qantas lounge.
