EZE-SCL / SCL-EZE in Executive First?
I made a search but could not find much (or recent) info on these segments. We need to book a flight from EZE-SCL return and the AC Executive First looks reasonably priced. Can anyone tell me about the service on-board? I found some threads that refer to EZE chaos so I'm warned there, but there seemed to be some confusion about what lounges J passengers can use (some threads mention that the lounge is close at the time the AC plane leaves?) In SCL is it still the AA lounge some posters refer to?
And how are things on board? Do you get a duvet and pillow (we'll have just flown in from Europe so will probably be exhausted)? Is the food/drinks nice (I presume it's a hot meal?)? Many thanks!

i flew J class from EZE SCL / SCL EZE, here is my experience (end of Mar):
- the lounge in EZE (United Airline red carpet) opened about about an hour before departure (depart was @ 15:50). not much to look for other than internet access and comfy seats.
- meanwhile, there is an Amex Platinum lounge and another lounge u can use if you have Priority Pass (can't remember what was it called, not the best as usual)
- flight from EZE to SCL is short, about 1:45 min
- stop in SCL was short too (about 20 min), i wouldn't bother going to the lounge but i needed internet access
- a pillow and a duvet was provided between EZE SCL and SCL EZE
- a hot meal was served too, it had an appetizer before
i didn't notice anything out of the ordinary on that flight, just the regular J class service
