Can I get some advice from my fellow frequent fliers.
LAN is quite famous for not doing preboard for anyone, probably all the regular LAN flyers on FT have also experienced this, and managed not to get detained by the police in the process. My advice would be to take it in stride as a travel experience, and expect that airlines around the world are different, and service is often inconsistent with airline policy.
