Absolutely. And LAN is playing up their presence (did you know that to fly LA to MVD from EZE they route you through SCL? At least that's all I found on a recent search). Plus with Qantas now flying out of SCL, there are a lot more connecting passengers to other SA destinations. AA has increased frequency of MIA flights, and there is WILD speculation about EK coming in...(can't wait to see the conversation that sparks...)
