Loads on both the outbound and incoming legs were very very high - in economy class. From what the FA´s told me, loads in C and F are pathetic. It seemed to me that they are getting a lot of traffic from the Chinese communities of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile (and other Argentine neighbouring countries) that are visiting home. I figure that with a full Y cabin but at an average heavily discounted fares they cant really turn a profit.
One FA did tell me that the only reason the route is not axed is because of the PMs horse ranch.... so who knows what the truth is?
