Hello Guys! Today I will be flying from Santiago to Buenos Aires (AEP) with LATAM on my vacations trip. I hope you will enjoy my flight! :)
Purchasing the ticket
Our ticket cost us $83USD ($79000CLP) per passenger. Very cheap to be an international flight…
check in and migrations
Our flight date just arrived, and we came to the airport in Uber, but they parked in the airport parking because Uber is illegal in Chile…
After entering the airport, we made the Check-In and our flight of today is the LA425…
After we passed migration control, was time to make a long-walk to the Gate… The Gate was C08…
boarding
After 15 minutes of walk finally we arrived at the gate!
And after 45 minutes of delay, our A320 arrived! :)
aircraft
Our A320 today, as on my December Concepcion Flight, again is… CC-COL! Maked his first flight on September 2001 as LAN Chile, in 2011 got transfered to LAN Argentina and then LAN Airlines, and LATAM Argentina, in 2018 returned to LATAM Chile and fly till nowadays, but… Unfortunately in the next couple of months, CC-COL will be retired from the fleet. :(
aircraft interior and seats
As CC-COL will be retired from the fleet, it mantains the Old Comfortable Seats! CC-COL is the last one to have these old seats in LATAM Chile…
My seat, 23F! :)
Legroom was very good for me! :)
Probably my last flight in the LATAM/LAN Old Seats, because CC-COL will be retired in the next couple of months, is the last A320 with unrefreshed cabin. But here is the best part, the soft seats, I will miss them a lot.
Oh! Thats me! :)
I was the first one to board because of my autism, passengers just started boarding…
departing
We finally departed! :)
cruising los andes
While we cruised Los Andes, 0 turbulences! Excelent! As was a night flight, I can't show the Beautiful Mountains. :(
snack time
After we cruised Los Andes, the crew gave me Coke with Ice, Potato Chips and a Cereal Bar! Very good meal and the Chips were delicious .:)
latam play
LATAM Play worked perfectly, unfortunately CC-COL doesn't have Wi-Fi because it will be retired. :(
cruiser mode
While CC-COL was on cruiser altitude (35000ft) I went to the lavatory.
And the old cabin looked pretty beautiful!
descent and arrival
We finally started our descent!
El Monumental Stadium! :)
We finally landed and we saw another LATAM A320, but brazilian with the registration of PR-MHU going to Guarulhos. :)
We finally stopped! :)
And the best photo of this old LAN Cabin. :)

CC-COL Cockpit

deplaining
We finally deplaned CC-COL, the flight was excelent 8,5/10!
I hope you have enjoyed my flight! :)

Thanks for sharing! No doubt that LA offer better service than the LCCs with which they compete. It seems though that the food service has been downgraded on this route since Covid as even short international routes used to get a small meal, but it's now a snack.
Not for me haha...I assume you're under 1m75. I've always found the legroom very tight in the old cabins. Even in Premium Economy my knees were touching and I'm only 1m78. Much prefer the newer cabins.
