LAN Compensation Windfall -- Must Be Some Catch
Okay, so I was all set to fly today in Business Class on LAN 901 from MVD to SCL. I only needed a one-way ticket and the J fare was not much more than the Y fare.
So I get to MVD and am told that the flight was switched to a one-class A320 (was supposed to be a two-class A320). I was initially upset until I was told the compensation would include a refund of $135 and, get this, a free round trip Business Class ticket on any medium length route such as SCL-IPC or JFK-GYE. All this was a $435 J ticket.
The agentīs English wasnīt perfect and my Spanish is non-existent, but this really seems like a windfall and too good to eb true. I read the info on the voucher slip, which seems to confirm what the agent said, but I am skepitcal as this seems way overboard.
Any thoughts?
