LAN To offer Premium cabin on shorthaul flights

LAN has added a new class, called Premium Economy, on its shorthaul flights - while it is also upgrading its longhaul Economy cabins. Premium Economy, available on its Airbus A320 aircraft family services within South America from this month, offers new cabin and an overall focus on passengers travelling for business on a tight schedule.

On the ground, besides on-line check-in, passengers will have preferential check-in lines, boarding and baggage delivery. They will also have access to LAN's airport lounges and receive a bonus of 25 per cent of the regular frequent flyer mileage awards for each flight. In the air, it offers 12 seats, with the middle seat in each row of three left empty, with its back folded down to provide more table space.

LAN is the first airline in South America to offer this kind of service on flights of less than five hours. It will be rolled out initially on the airline's services between its Santiago hub and Buenos Aires, Guayaquil, Lima, Montevideo, Quito and Sao Paulo and between Lima and Bogota, Medellin, Quito and Sao Paulo.

Meanwhile, on its longhaul routes, operated by Boeing 767s, LAN is upgrading its in-flight entertainment system for Economy passengers that it says matches the best in the world. New high resolutions screens have been installed for each individual seat, with more than 85 channels to choose from - 32 new and all-time-favourite movies and 55 channels of TV programmes - and 500 plus CDs, all delivered with full video and audio-on-demand, enabling passengers to start, fast forward, rewind or pause whenever they want. It also features 14 video games, with an option to play against fellow passengers.

LAN to launch first Canadian connection

LAN is to open service to Canada, with an initial five Boeing 767s a week between Toronto and its Santiago hub, via New York JFK, from 3 September. The airline also has traffic rights between the US and Canadian gateways. At Toronto, it will operate from Pearson International Airport's Terminal 3.
