rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sundogg99 - My wife and I accumulated a pile of miles on Alaska Airlines which were scheduled to expire.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author comodoro_2 - I do about 20,000km a month with LanChile and am rated as a Comodoro for what it counts. LanChile has close to a monopoly within Chile and for international flights there are also not many options. As a result of a general lack of competition their...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duagh - As a frequent flyer for the last 35 years, Lan Chile tops my list of superior carriers, second only to the old Canadian Pacific Airlines. (Sadly leaving us with Air Canada which all Canadians should be ashamed our Canadian Flag adorns the tail) Lan...

trvl-Airlines-Latin America-LanChile: LAN Chile - very mixed bag.

Fri, 4 May 2007 15:21:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ottertrack - On the ground LAN was the worst business I've dealt with in my life. Customer service is non-existent to horrible. Overall, despite their good performance in the air, I don't think it's I'd ever want to go through dealing with LAN...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author travelgall - Why oh why didn’t I become a Pilot. I do adventurous sports, which to paraphrase Denis Miller is a way in which men prove they’re willing to die to obtain sex. Piloting an aircraft is a milder form of this in terms of risk but, after seeing the...
