Quite so. Also, although my QF experience on the segment in biz has been good, I'd like a firsthand look at what LAN looks like in the front cabin, and how they behave in general. There have been some fairly negative posts here in the past, although I suppose they've mostly been critical of ground activities like releasing premium seats.

OTOH if they hadn't given me seats I'd not have shed too many tears at not having to get up for an 06:55 departure.

[SanDiego1K's post had me rethinking the idea - I know where to find all the indifferent FA's I need without searching SWP - but I suppose it will be a good lesson in LAN Chile. Better to learn about them on a 3 hour flight then on a long-haul out of LAX. I don't suppose I'm going to get a set of PJ's out of them, for my half-vast PJ collection, am I?]
