Thanks for the vibes. It was successful, so quite the opposite of them stiffing me... I win some, lose some. But, in fact, in the scorecard of the game with LAN, I am winning, and winning by a lot. So I for one am quite happy that LAN is not a perfect airline (none are) and is trickable. Mistakes go both ways, but not something we can speak about here. Played enough sports in my life to know not to whine to the referee when you are winning, it is quite unseemly. But I reserve the right to rant when they really mess me up...
