LAN Airlines LIM-EZE 767-300 Business Class

I was on a cheap $129 economy fare ticket and somehow I was able to get upgraded to business class. It started out with a tweet to LAN Airlines to see if they could add me to the airport standby upgrade list. Their response was that only the airport could do that for me. I was perfectly fine with my economy seat since I chose a bulkhead aisle, but it always never hurts to ask.

I took a few pictures of the beautiful Boeing 763 that was bound from Lima, Peru to Buenos Aires, Argentina (LIM-EZE).

Shortly before boarding, I heard my name called on the loudspeaker. I was shocked when she told me that I had been upgraded to Premium Business Class. So there was an angel who put me on the upgrade standby list and it said so right on the ticket. I was so ecstatic at this point.

I had to show a contracted worker proof of payment for the Argentinian visa. Be aware that you do need to pre-pay the visa fees online with a printed confirmation before you can board. You can’t even get a boarding pass without showing this proof, let alone board a flight to Buenos Aires.

The Boeing 767-300 Business Class cabin is a 2-2-2 configuration.

My seat was in the middle, 2D which had direct aisle access.

I was handed a premium business class amenity kit from the flight attendant.

The flight attendant also offered me a choice of reading material and I chose Latin Finance since it was the only one in English.

I was offered orange juice as a pre-departure beverage.

After the plane reached cruising altitude, I was offered a hot wet towel.

Menus were not handed out since it was a morning breakfast flight. I had the cheese omelet with mushrooms and it came with toasted bread, pound cake, and fruit.

Shortly after my meal, I turned my seat into a lie flat bed and went to sleep.

The meal service was quick, but the meal itself was not filling at all. There were only three pieces of mushroom with the omelet and I’m not a big fan of pound cake. The in-flight entertainment screen was huge, but I slept throughout my flight so I wasn’t able to watch a movie.
