The other problem with LAN is the deteriorating quality of domestic/regional flight. All my recent intra-Chile LAN flights including one to Bolivia (LPB) had very, very poor onboard service. I was amazed that a flight SCL-IQQ-LPB the only service was a cereal bar and 1 glass of soft drink. I could easily compare LAN domestic service with airlines such as GOL, which is more like LCC. And GOL service is still superior...

Rgs,

Rgs,
Having just flown LA/LP SCL-LIM, I would say their regional on-board Y service is equal to TAM (never flown GOL, so cant opine). Both leave a lot to be desired these days. Sad

LAN A32S flying is ruled by the LASER model, which could also be described as a lcc spinoff from LAN. If you notice, regional flights on B767s and A340s do have a better service level.

I also had the same experience with identical results.

PS: what is ISM?
ISM = In-flight Service Manager.

It would definitely be convenient to have a dedicated agent - CX has a 24-hour dedicated phone line, normally answered within 3-4 rings, for the top-tiered members. Although do try to ring Santiago direct through to LAN...I find that they tend to answer their calls quite quickly.
