Heading to GRU tonight for a few nights for work. My company has several manufacturing plants dotted throughout São Paulo (the state, not the city), due to Brazil’s high external trading barriers, whereas we serve most of the rest of LATAM with US-made product (LOL given the recent news).

Tonight, I’m flying JFK-GRU on TAM8181, which departs at 6:15 P.M. There’s very few reports (if any) on FlyerTalk of the new LA J product, so looking forward to sharing that. I’ll also do a bit of JFK T4 lounge hopping (DL One, VS Clubhouse, maybe a SkyClub) which I’ll throw in for good measure!

On the way back, I’ll be flying DL, whose J product is well documented here on FT. However, I think I’ll get some time in the LATAM VIP Lounge so I will certainly share my impressions of that.
