second dreamliner received
Segundo Boeing 787 de LAN ya vuela en Sudamérica y operará a Los Ángeles a partir de enero de 2013
LAN Airlines informa que ya recibió un segundo Boeing 787 Dreamliner, considerado el avión más moderno del mundo en su tipo. Con este hito ya se completan dos de las tres entregas para LAN en 2012, de acuerdo a lo programado y el avión se encuentra operando las rutas entre Santiago y Buenos Aires y entre Santiago y Lima desde el pasado 1 de noviembre.
El Boeing 787 de LAN ya incorporó a Buenos Aires y Lima como los primeros dos destinos, que fueron anunciados por la compañía en la FIDAE a comienzos de 2012, y comenzará su operación a Los Ángeles en Estados Unidos el 1 de enero de 2013, con tres vuelos semanales.
En Lima, el Dreamliner de LAN realiza actualmente 6 vuelos por semana hacia Santiago de Chile, y en diciembre se incrementará una frecuencia semanal.

LAN's 2nd 787 (CC-BBB) is already servicing the SCL-EZE route (LA455/456). Last sunday I got a chance to see it parked on the tarmac when returning on a later flight from EZE.

Upon boarding i wanted to take some pictures of the 787 without people....
I made my way to priority boarding despite the fact i knew i would be turned down as i soft landed to OW Ruby. When finally it was my turn for the gate agent to check my economy ticket, she was about to point at my stat. The man behind me on the boarding line jumped at her and told her immediately before i could articulate any word that i was coming along with him.
Wow!!!
That was so nice, thank you!
By that time i was feeling a bit shocked by the man approach that i didn't know what to do. I sat besides him, chatted a bit with him and thanked him for the gesture. Other men were joking at me that if i didn't like him i could seat besides another prospective. lol
I took some cabin pictures and then went into the cockpit as i resolved what to do with the man. I figured the cockpit was a more tranquil place for me to relax, I didn't want to go back and wait in my economy seat or seat besides him in business. I wanted some safe ground and also be able to take some pictures. The man was good looking, but i felt a bit strange... I'm 23 and he was around 30ish... it was not in my plans to seat in another cabin with a stranger...
Eventually i went to my economy seat because that was the fair thing to do. I was worried my parents who didn't know where i was. I was feeling so nervous about the 787,the man,the pilots chatting at me,parents. That even didn't feel good at the emergency exits and changed for my regular 15 row seats.

Yeah i know i messed it up.... thing was when i was seated in the cockpit all ready relaxed and chilling , the guy appereared in the cockpit and introduced himself to the pilots as some kind of Lan director employee. I never ever saw that coming, i wasn't expecting the guy to follow me to the cockpit. My jaw dropped (hence i got nervous again)

I guess there are pros and cons. But I vote next time you suck up to him, pepper him with 1000 questions we all want to know about LAN and feedback to FT here, as any truely avid FTer would do.
Nice pics by the way, thanks!!!
