Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be much information avaliable online or reviews about the short-haul service, so I was hoping someone can advise.
1. Are there special desks for bag drop / check in, as I’ll have hold luggage for all flights?
2. What is provided in the way of drinks / snacks / food? Whilst some of the flights are quite short, one is nearly four hours so was wondering what is provided and what may be avaliable to purchase
PE theoretically gets priority check in also for domestic Brazil (not enforced) and priority boarding, whîch means nothing because in Brazil everybody basically claims being entitled to pre boarding
("elderly" whatever that means and families with children).
Get at least that middle seat blocked which is nice. The non enforced bathroom rule
makes for nice queues coming from Y and you being unable to use the lavatory. (They falsely even advertise the reserved bathroom
https://www.latamairlines.com/us/en/...-flight/cabins). I am so fed up with this that I always politely complain and they do not appreciate this.
Food is a real scandal, remember that (hot) sandwich on a loooooong SCL-GIG flight (international). They falsely advertise "high quality contemporary gastromy"
. Never saw an offer to purchase in PE.
Generally (LA)TAM Brazil is a bigger mess than LAN Chile
.
LATAM is still your best choice within South America and domestically Brazil. You will arrive in relative comfort and alive. GOL for example does not block the middle seat in domestic PE and they have crappy Boeings. With LATAM you fly a nice A320.
