Not a formal wait listing but if we just show up off the MPN PUQ flight on 20th (or say the following day) and there's space in Y in any of the multiple flights, does anyone have a view if we can grab the seats and LA can then flog ours at their leisure? Do local staff have any discretion in such matters? Would a phone call to BA (issuers of our LONE4) be an expensive waste of time?
Many thanks all. Really appreciate the collective wisdom of this forum.
Not talking to myself honestly.
just an update.
We turned up at the LAN office in downtown Punta Arenas on 11.2 and was told a pile of stuff I know to be untrue by a deeply unhelpful staff member. Caught our PUQ MPN flight on 13.2 and returned on 20.2 after a terrific week on the islands.
Flying back into PUQ I thought we would be stuck in PA for the duration but after retrieving bags and clearing customs & immigration went back to tkt sales and a super helpful lady spent 20 mins grappling with LANs reservation system and getting us on LAN 90 later that night for the red eye special to SCL. Result!
I had checked on availability but there seemed nothing in L despite loads of space in economy. LAN can now try to some more revenue on 3.3 rather than flying empty seats over the weekend. A win-win.
