LAN Chile announced today that they'll be restarting nonstop flights between Los Angeles and Santiago. The flight will operate 3x per week between October 16, 2016, and March 25, 2017. As of now the flight just seems to be operating in the Southern summer, but I imagine it has the potential to be extended beyond…

How reliable is LAN about releasing award space on these routes to South America, especially for booking with AA? Seems like AAdvantage is stingy with releasing space on their own metal at the Saver rate...
@Jon - very reliable but only for 1-2 days after it becomes available. Then it disappears. YOU MUST BOOK RIGHT WHEN IT OPENS UP.
Good news for the joint venture. Does AA have plans to launch more routes from LA to Latin and South America (hope they'll build off of the São Paulo route)? Anyone with any knowledge, let me know.
I remember when LAN CHILE was a luxury airline, the flight attendants were all highly educated, many were nurses and all Chileans. Nobody knew they existed & we enjoyed our airline, but then they fell into that "globalism" bull.... and now they hire foreigners, especially Argies and from Peru who can't speak English or Spanish properly, they are uneducated, rude & ugly. It seems that Ignacio Cueto (CEO) learned nothing about "globalism" and its effects in Europe & the U.S.A. The last time I flew to Stgo. the "cholas" a.k.a. Peruvians at LAN desk "TOLD" the passengers that there was a 10 hr. delay due to some virus in Peru. On board, we had an Argie woman couldn't say "salmon", the trashy people from Latin America flying LAN is horrendous. Since Argies & the rest of the countries from Mexico to Antarctica don't have reliable airlines they all use LAN & we get to "enjoy" the screaming brats from the moment they board until landing & they have quite a few brats as it's customary with them; we get to breath that "aroma" of dirty diapers, etc. Passengers complaint to the untrained flight attendants who stand with their mouths open and do nothing. Chile is NOT an immigrants' country but they are coming from all over the world pretending to be "tourists" but forget to go back. We were always very careful with immigration and only hand picked professionals from England, Germany, northern Italy, Sweden & Switzerland were allowed, today my country is another cesspool just like Los Angeles, Watts, Miami, Harlem, India, Africa, the list is endless. I wish we could clone Mr. Trump.
