I have heard good things about LAN but I am still not sure whether the direct flight on LAN down to EZE is better or the direct flight on AA is better. It seems that the answer largely depends on whether the LAN direct flight has the New Premium Business Class that the carrier has been touting. Unfortunately, my two calls to LAN could not provide any clarification. Some of the reports like the one rrgg provided indicate the answer is no.

If anyone has ridden in the new premium business class on LAN to EZE, I would love to hear what route you took. Thanks.
Considering the above reply stating that LAN is not offering the new business class on this route, it seems to me that AA is your best choice. Even if you dont have a lot of miles, a roudrtip in C class may bring you close to at least a domestic award...?
