Figuring that I've spent enough time in Europe and Asia recently, it was time to head back to South America. I chose LATAM Airlines economy class from Los Angeles (LAX) to Santiago (SCL) for the first segment, and it ended up being a really great experience.
The aircraft for this 11 hour flight was a 787-9 (CC-BBF), and I was seated in 24L.

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this, but your editing style is insanely good! I love the way you make a weird comment in text, then explain it after. I've never really seen that before.
I hope other people think it as well. 😆 Glad you’re enjoying my video style!
@@sanspotter I sure do
@sanspotter Can you review Latam 767-300 please?
I have to say the LATAM experience is an excellent one. Flown the 787 myself to Frankfurt!
Big thumbs up for the design of that cabin! The presentation of the food was really good too!
Yeah, the cabin looked great! I just wish the food portions were larger though.
pro tip with people movers/buses: get on last so you get off first
Scott...although I enjoy most videos from aviation trip reporters, yours are the only ones that make me laugh, and they're always high quality and interesting. I love 'em.
Haha, thanks Zach! I enjoy watching many other trip reporters here on RUclips as well - we all have our own unique styles! 👍🏻
You create my favorite trip reports and flight reviews. Keep up the hard work and it will pay off!
Thanks Ryan! It is really hard work! 👨🏼💻💦
Love all your comments bro 💖
Keep up the great job sharing all the aviation news.
-from Malaysia with love-
Absolutely love your style. I appreciate your cynical and "down to earth" manner of explaining. Thank you for sharing.
Stumbled upon your video. Thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed your amusing voice over, tongue in cheek tone and filming/editing. Happy travels ; - )
HOLLY SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA. Best replacement for “Holly smokes”
Always a great review. Love the commentary and different camera angles.
Thank you! It’s always challenging trying new angles and techniques, but I do what I can. 😎
Absolutely love the edit, esp the flight details on top of those taxiing aircrafts. And the music though!
Those are my favourite business class seats on LATAM, and this is the route I use the most when I fly to Tucson AZ to see my brother, via LAX...such good memories; I did fancy your review A LOT...cheers
Love your narrating. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Lots more to come. 😎👍🏻
Amazing Video man! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! There’s lots more to come!
I've been on the flight from Santiago back to LA but the plane had a stop in Lima, where I switched to a VERY old plane to Miami... I've had pretty good experiences with this airline!
Same here
Awesome video man!! Really do love your trip reports, especially your edits!
Thanks! Editing these videos takes such a long time 😩 but I enjoy the process. 👍🏻
SANspotter your welcome! Haha yah.
Another nice video Scott! I could relate with this video on so many levels. I travel SFO-SYD a lot and the way I try to stay hydrated is to drink a lot on the day of the flight and especially 3-4 hrs prior to departure and then of course use the bathroom before boarding and then during the flight, little sips of water here and there throughout the 14 hr flights helps me keep hydrated and I only need to use the lavatory twice.
Thanks man! Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good plan - I’ve also discovered that I can balance the water intake and ...output 😆 .... fairly well on really long flights. I tend not to drink anything for the first 4 to 5 hours, and by that point (because of the dry air) anything I drink doesn’t go though me all that fast. There’s definitely a science to this! 😂
I was very happy to see him fly through the company airlines LATAM your videos as always incredible.
Gracias Jose! This was an amazing flight!
such an elegant and original work, as usual. 👍
YES! So cool to have you reviewing LATAM Scott! I wish you would have stopped by in Peru... there´s a lot to tour around here! Do you manage to squeeze a little touring in between flights?
Unfortunately, no stop in Peru this time. But it’s on my list! And yes, I was able to spend a couple days In Buenos Aires on this trip - so that was nice.
Excellent production as always! That was the B788 which is a bit more uncomfortable than the B789. Cheers from Santiago!
Thanks! I’m really embarrassed that I mistook this for a 787-9... 😳😂 I could’ve swore it was a 9, but you’re absolutely right...it’s an 8! 😩😩
Welcome to South America!
This guy's deserves more subs!!
Hi Scott!
Long time no see (yet again ha)!
Great video like always, your editing skills remain one of the best here on RUclips :)
LATAM don’t look too bad here, the mood lighting and menu is a nice touch. I agree the food portions are pretty small... :(
Regards,
Brendan
Great video review! I always wanted to fly on LATAM
another quick, concise and quirky flight review. showed LATAM off really well, their business class look well miss with the mood lighting. i never fly window, being 6'2, need legroom and like you access to toilet, as ever keep up great work.
Thank you Scott for the link to watch the takeoff. Keep up the great work.
You’re welcome Chris! I know a lot of people like to see the full unedited clip, so I’m trying to find a way to keep everyone happy. 😄
That definitely makes me happy. I appreciate you brother and thanks again. 👍
Wait, when was your LATAM flight? Because about three weeks ago I flew out of Tom Bradley International Terminal as well. I created a trip report of it as well. :D
dude you make the best produced flight vids on youtube. sam chui is big because he was first, but yours are way better produced! i love it!
Aw, thanks man - I appreciate it! 👍🏻👍🏻
great video !! i love latam airlines and stumbled across ur vid, jus realized u also r here in san !!
Great video editing! I must say you had me laughing out loud a few times with the bathroom on yourself or dying of dehydration 🤣...I can definitely relate. 😂
Its so cool to see San deigo as a local from above especially just to see how small San diego airport is
Yeah, we flew directly over top of San Diego on this flight. I even saw my house as we were flying over! 👀😎
I did the same exact trip in the same Plane! Awesome
Oh for the love of pete, I've watched dozens of your videos and only today I "got" that SAN was San Diego.
I Love Latam
Awesome video man liked
Thank you! 😃👍🏻
I used to work for Latam for several years, and thats the 787-8 for sure
I like the visually worded segues.
4:40 my boss at work likes to use "Holy Buckets."
That's a 787-8! Great video though :) Can you please tell me which camera were you using to film the seat at 4:02? Happy travels and stay safe!
Great video! The editing and the jokes are getting better 😅😅
Haha, thanks Will! I’m slowly trying to figure this stuff out! 👨🏼💻
Great trip report, Scott. Also liked the accompanying music on this one. Did you read that the lounges are experiencing over-crowding (the horror!) so they are hiking the already high prices and eliminating some day/guest passes. Noooooooo!!!!! ✈️
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. And yup - they really do need to raise prices (or build bigger lounges) because it is getting really crowded everywhere.
Nice airplane
The 787 signature interior is
Impressive
I've heard most flights to South America are red eyes, kinda sad for flying into Santiago, no epic views of the Andes, I think you can even see Acouncaguqa on the way on. I hope you at least got to check out some of the sights around Santiago when you were there.
Yeah, that area of Chile is stunningly beautiful! 😮 Too bad I didn’t have any views on the way in. Also too bad that I didn’t stay in Santiago for at least a day - this was just a stopover on my way to Buenos Aires.
Great video
Thank you! 😃
Great video and funny too!
Thanks Tracy!
I think the Latam safety instruction video is the most creative one I've seen compared to the other companies
Yeah, it was really nice! Actually, I thought that all of the Latam brand elements (logo, menus, etc) were very well designed. 👌🏻
Yeah! New Video!
Woohoo! 🕺💃🏻😆
Love it 😍 love it greetings from California
Thanks Javier! 😎👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I will take Avianca - SFO - SAL-SJO next week and also LATAM SJO
- LIM - SCL Let's see which flight is better
You’re very welcome! As a matter of fact, I flew Avianca on the way home from this trip (videos coming soon) and I found them to be excellent as well. Enjoy your flights!
Nice video! Would love an Avianca trip report!
Thanks! As a matter of fact, I have two Avianca review videos coming up in July. 😎
That’s splendid! Look forward to watching those videos!
A paint job on those wings wouldn't hurt LATAM!
You’re the third person to mention this, but oddly enough I never even noticed how bad it was during the flight. I guess it’s a good thing that getting footage for these videos is enough to distract me from shoddy maintenance. 😄
Hi scott, nice to see you here RUclips:-) I love your film style~ you are so amazing! ( Guess who I am~)
I will be back 4 the next video. Ur meal in the lounge looked tasty (the rice).
Thanks! Unfortunately it’s going to be two weeks until I can upload again (going on vacation with the family). And yeah, that rice was 👍🏻👍🏻😃
Liked the shoes but could not find the one you were wearing online...what brand are they please
Great video! How was the leg room? Most planes aren’t friendly to us guys above 6’ 5” haha. Flying LATAM from Dallas to Santiago this christmas!
Wow, yeah, you’re likely not to be all that comfortable on LATAM at that height! 😮 Leg room wasn’t bad for me (I’m 5’-10”) but hopefully you can score an exit row seat or something.
What job do you have that allows you to travel so much?
This RUclips channel and my blog (among a few other small side projects). 😎👍🏻
haha you always get a like before the watch! but great video :)
RUclips is weird like that. 🤷🏼♂️😆 Thanks!
Please review the SCL- TLV flight with LATAM! 😀😀😀
I like the guy waving at you @3:54
Haha, I get a lot of weird looks when I’m getting video footage. 🤪😆
How often do you get asked about taking footage?
Try "Great Cesar's Ghost" retro from old black and white Superman tv show.
Last Thursday I flew on Latam's B787-9 in Business Class from Madrid to Frankfurt. Probably the cheapest route you can find to check out their Business Class. ✌🏽😅 (It was 44 Euros)
44 Euros?! Wow!😮 I would have done it several times. 😆
Cool T-shirt Scott! You designed it?
Thanks! Nope, it’s not my design - it came from 08left.com 😎👍🏻
Do you get to keep the blanket?
Incredible video dude! Great quality and informative content. Just what I need as inspiration for my own content :D
Thanks man! Glad I can be of inspiration. 😁
Title: 787-9
Safety Card - This particular aircraft is different
Heck, it's even hard as an aviation enthusiast to get pictures and video of the plane without getting yelled at!
It’s dangerous out there! 🚨😅
I am contemplating a trip to EZE from LAX. LaTam has a nice product, but I don't like the uncertainty of not getting the seat I want.
To be fair, I booked this ticket through the American Airlines website, and I had to call to get my seat assignments. Apparently they don’t honor phone reservations all that tightly, but I’d assume you’ll be safe if you book your ticket directly with Latam.
They could do some maintenance on that wing or a do a new paint job.
Just needs a little cleaning, that’s all! 💦
Bienvenido a Stgo.
Gracias! 😎
Geez Louise. When I was in the army we used to say "WTF, over."
Can they do a KSFO route?
They used to until I think 2012/2013. They do still have their eyes set in a new US destination though
Im totally with you. I will Never sit in a window seat on a flight longer then 5 hours (no flight in Australia is longer then that). I’m too introverted for that.
Does Holy Tish help?? Having flown from Rio to Santiago the scenery over the Andes is stunning. The seats in economy on a 4 hour flight were HORRENDOUS with little leg room and as soon as the clown in front of me reclined his seat I had to get the small pillow and put it in front of my knees. I did have an exit row seat BUT because I don't speak Spanish (which meant the crew were from Chile and not Brazil where the native language is Portuguese) they moved me to the back of the plane. I did argue that the crew would also give instructions to the passengers in English meant nothing... also I noticed this flight was labelled as a 787-900 flight but the emergency card was for a 787-800 ??? Great review mate!!
Haha, thanks Craig! Yes, that was a major boo boo on my part - this was indeed a 787-8 and not a -9 like I originally thought. Can I still keep my AvGeek card though? 😆 And yeah, holy tish is another great one I need to incorporate into an upcoming video. I’ve been getting a lot of really great suggestions! 😂
what no yawning shot??im utterly dissappointed..LOL! LATAM looks great esp the meal presentations.
I know! Shocking that there wasn’t a single yawn even though this was a red eye flight. 😮😄
@@sanspotter they must have noticed ur presence 😂
Reporting... On the trip report. Such grace and skill with words. I just browsed the comments section and then PATREON, where you stated you are, and I quote, "a mega-ginormous airplane nerd." Yet you somehow don't know the difference between the 787-8 and 787-9? Disappointing.
We go inside the airport, where we see the ticketing counters, as well as get a good view of the airport's Tom Bradley terminal. (Fun fact: Did you know that Tom Bradley is actually the name of a hall in UCLA? He must be famous over there or something.) I love LAX for one reason and one reason only: A380. Is there any more explanation needed? We also get a tour of the lounge, which has a super long line, although I have no clue what food they offer there, only what was on his plate. All I saw was a wrap and some rice. Good enough. The seats look comfortable enough. And NOOO O O O O the red travel shoes are gone! That was another major trademark of the SANspotter channel, was the shot of the shoes in the seat for everyone that has foot fetishes, I guess. We get a shot of two Boeing 777-300ERs, which belonged to JAL and Aeroflot. We soon board using buses, which is always a fun time. The aircraft has gorgeous mood lighting, and even though I hate the 787, one can't help but admire how beautiful the LATAM cabin looks with it. We see the amenities given to us, (meaning Scott) which include an extremely plush blanket (for economy class) and pillow, (again, for economy class) as well as a provided pair of headsets. Here's an alternative to holy smokes: "Heilige Scheiße." You say that in a video and all of your German fans or fans who speak German will go absolutely nuts. If you Google Translate it, you know what it means, but according to my Austrian friend who I met literally five days ago, Scheiße isn't even a curse word in German! I mean, it is, but it's about equivalent to the word "idiot" in English. It gets thrown around by everyone, including toddlers.
Soon we're departing, but that TECHNO MUSIC JUST KEEPS PLAYING! Where did the non-interrupted takeoff sound go? To Facebook, apparently. Hmm. And hold on. At 5:58, did I just hear a saxophone! Finally, some actual instruments!
Soon it is... Lunchtime, I think, and we are served ravioli. But I need more. What kind of ravioli? Was it good? What was provided with it, if anything? What was on top of the ravioli? I NEED ANSWERS, and I also shouldn't have to ask in a summary. Summaries are just supposed to be a brief overview of the video, and then I say the video was good. But no...
Also, 7:30... You do realize that if that happens, you will go viral on every social media platform out there, right? It may get you more popular, but is it really worth it? Plus, it'll only be a fad, like most memes. They last for a month and then die...
So we get the restroom tour, which is good. It keeps me sane to know that you're still doing that. Soon we land, and when we do, we get a reflection of Scott, who summarizes that food is scarce on the flight. I have not yet heard him say that the onboard product was bad, which is concerning. I want to hear some brutally honest reviews so I can compare the pros and cons of flying with that airline. Apparently, you aren't too good at finding cons though...
Alright, I need to know... What camera do you USE? That stuff produces some HD QUALITY NO LAG video! Also, if you haven't, take a look at QFS Aviation's videos. He goes into depth on the seat and gives a lot of information that would be useful for travelers like me who are thinking of trying a product. And he has GOOD MUSIC, as it has a piano, ukulele, and various instruments that help calm people down. This music is all drums and computer-generated sounds. That is the level that sets a tripreporter apart from another. Unfortunately, he'd never read my comments like you do, so I want to help you improve so that you can be the best tripreporter out there, redefining RUclips's aviation community, beating Sam Chui, and appealing to all. (I would use that for my own channel, but I don't really fly on a variety of airlines, and that can get boring and stale after a while.) But unfortunately, we aren't there yet, so baby steps, I guess.
Overall, pretty well made, but there are some aspects of your previous videos that should be incorporated into these. I still wish there were more statistics and more showing of the seats, though, as well as a better music choice. I'd give it a 7/10, solely because there wasn't enough detail, and the value is in the detail.
Dude. You seriously need to start a blog and post all of this stuff there. I’m dead serious. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 As long as you keep writing these reviews, you’ll be known as the guy go to for anyone wanting to find new aviation RUclipsrs to watch. As a blogger myself, I’m telling you...it’s worth your while. 😉 You’re obviously spending a ton of time watching these videos and writing these awesome reviews, so turn it into a freakin’ business!
Thanks for the awesome review as always! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
@@sanspotter So... Start a react channel? Sure! What's the harm in that?
Why did you fast forward the takeoff??!! That's the best part!!
😬😬😬
You should have stopped by TBIT PF Chang’s since they give priority pass members a 30 credit for food and beverage 😜 Awesome video
whats the cost
Holy Smokes...Gee Whiz? lol
Haha! Another one I’ll have to use... 😆
I love latam im from spain best tripereporter out it not simply aviation
Gracias Ceci! I love Latam as well - this flight (and the one I took immediately after) was great!
By the way, is SAN a nice (must-see) City to visit, while in California?
yes
Absolutely! The first time I ever visited San Diego I wanted to move here. 20 years later, and I’m still happy to call San Diego home. 👍🏻
I think that CC-BBF is actually a 787-8, not 787-9. Correct me if I am wrong!
You are correct - it was my mistake. A very big mistake I might add. 😅
Exelent
Last week I was yelled at in Lisbon, Portugal for taking a selfie!
0:01 Whats is the name of the song , Please ?its so chill
That’s Yim Yim by Giants Nest 👍🏻
Good video bro! Love your humor 😎. Could you maybe do a Klm Dreamliner 787-9 review? Business class or Economy class. It's my national airline! Soon we will get Airbus A350 900 and Boeing 787-10 in our fleet😆😆.
Thanks Stefan! I’m actually flying KLM in August. Just 737-800s (economy), but I’m looking forward to it. And yes, there will be a video! 😎👍🏻
looks uncomfortable unfortunately. being by the window with 2 big dudes right next to me. I dont think i could take that for 10 hrs.
There was a sign at the check in about the bus boarding...
Yeah, I didn’t even realize it until I was editing this footage. 😄
Exelent latam god kvality
There needs to be Godzilla artwork on Japan airlines(at least ana airways has a star wars artwork on a 787)
A good alternative, as a friend of mine used to say, is "holy divers." Lol
great video your right the long haul window seat sucks, why don't airlines stick with the 2 4 2 configuration stepping over one person to use the can is soooooo much easier and better option!
That’s why the 767 was so nice for long haul. 2-3-2 and 2-4-2 was so nice!
Because 2-4-2 is 8 abreast and 3-3-3 is 9 abreast. More seats = more money.
RandoCrypto good point 3 3 3 still sucks but good point
@@golfgolf7692 I took a flight on a 9 abreast a330 recently. Wasnt too bad, but I stayed in my seat the whole 8 hour flight. Most people dont do that.
4:49 787-8 safety card in a 787-9? What is this nonsense?
Plane was indeed a B788 (CC-BBF), not a B789.
Aaaaaah!! Dang it ... you’re right! 😩😩😩 Can’t believe I didn’t notice it was a 788. 🤬😅
@@BeckerAviation so the title has an error. Surprising.
How long were you in Chile?
Just a couple hours unfortunately - it was a layover on my way to Buenos Aires.
FYR...Synonyms...Holy Moley, Golly Gee, Goodness Gracious. Etc. 😜
CC-BBF it's a B788 not a 789
