Any flight crossing the ITCZ will experience turbulence.
Also LATAM 787 can end up being 1-2-1 DoD depending on aircraft used. (New 787s have the new seats)
All said, I enjoy LATAM in flight better than DL. However I always buy the ticket from DL if can . LA reservation agents are awful.
Just curious what airports you've been departing. I've not had a post-COVID PDB ex LAX, LIM or SCL. And on my countless ITCZ flights (maybe 100 or so) my Pacific experiences are a lot less choppy than my Atlantic ones. Not that I've not had a few rough rides on "this" side, but nothing like the Atlantic side.
The LAX lounge situation has changed twice, post-LA OW. For a time, LA was using the *A lounge, and now they're back to the OW lounge. Probably a simple case of what the lounges want to charge LA per visit.
