Yes, but as has been mentioned in this forum before, LAN's ground service simply sucks. They were rude to us. Then there is the whole situation with boarding the SCL IPC flight. The check in desk told us to go through immigration, but immigration wouldn't let us through cause we were on a "domestic" flight. We went to 3 different places, no one knew what was going on, finally we had to go back to the check in desk to have them escort us. Ridiculous -- I mean, the flight doesn't leave like 3 times a week (or more during certain seasons)...
