Greetings all from Punta Arenas.

We (2 pax) are LAN flying MPN PUQ on 20 Feb and are seeking to get onwards to SCL as soon as possible on our BA issued LONE4 tickets. We have a reservation for PUQ SCL on March 3 and want a simple date change.

We called at the LAN office in town today. Unhelpful clerk says "Impossible to change. You call BA" After a little gentle persuasion, she accepts change is indeed possible on these tkts but says nothing in L class till March 2. (LAN flies 4 air buses a day on this route). There are lots of seats in Y of course - have checked Expedia.

Any advice? Is it worth hanging around on a standby basis at the airport? Logic dictates that better to bump us forward into empty seats if they have no last minute takers and have our seats to sell later. But then again....
