Welcome to my next trip report series, covering the recent review trip that I took to Latin America. Actually, it was two trips to Latin America, sort of, but I’ll write it all as a single review series.

I'll be interested in your review of the Ritz Carlton in Santiago.
I stayed there last month. While overall it felt like it was straight out of Atlanta in the 1990s, overall I liked the property. Solid bones that are dated, but updated enough with new carpet, wallpaper, etc. And friendly service. I was good with it. And satisfied at the price paid.
What was your issue with it?
Moral of the story:
Screw all premium carriers, because you should fly a Copa 737 and "visualise yourself flying Qsuites or Air France or JAL or something of that kind! ;)"
Thank you Proximanova, fomerly known as VT-CIE, for sharing your wisdom.
Hypothetically, what would have happened to your Delta Skymiles account had you simply ended the trip in MIA without continuing to MEX? Are there any repercussions for no-showing on the connecting part of a trip? Many airlines charge fewer miles for making a connection through their hubs or larger stations rather than point to point bookings.
Hypothetically, when someone starts a question with hypothetically, they already know the answer.
A request from the bleachers: Would you consider putting the hours flown in addition to departure & arrival times ? Easy enough to figure out times as stated, but off the top of my head I don't know what the zones add or subtract.
All of this is so stupid. Ben can fly a Copa 737 and then fly Air France or JAL or QSuites later. In VT-CIE's defense, changing it up isn't a bad idea
VT-CIE's idea was pretty terrible, but I'm sure they were well-intentioned and thought it could be interesting at the time. I did personally critique at the time, but it's a bit much to keep bringing it up all the time.
I reckon if VT-CIE makes peace, then we can let bygones be bygones.

my family and I were in the SCL LATAM Signature Lounge and loved every minute of it. Huge selection, small number of fellow travelers, nice decor, attentive staff. What's not to love?
