This is really interesting to see and great review. I live in Brazil and always fly LATAM back to the UK. In 2023 they have now upgraded their business cabins to premium cabins in a 1-2-1 configuration with loads of space (one of the best seats) and the service is always excellent. This review really reminded me of all my flight pre-upgrade. But yeah, a bit strange as you say, especially as for me I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them Brazil -> Europe.
I think the dimmed cabin windows might be some kind of attempt to help passengers with jet lag, owing to it departing Sydney evening time in S America. Nice vid 👍
Interesting to get insight into LATAM Business Class in 2023. I used to fly that route quite often when I was based in Sydney as the fares were always lower than the other carriers which service that route. The service was always bare minimum with no pre-flight offering, only a snack for catering (although not the mish-mash you were served) and if you wanted wine or coffee you had to use the call button.
Though, they have been improving the service so much in recent times. I was in premium economy on a 50 minte flight and they greeted me by my name when i got to the door, the service was great (i got a meal at 5pm) and all that, again, in a 50 minute flight.
Thanks for sharing. Back in 2015 and 2016 LATAM was quite good. Now is full shit. Economy is terrible and business is barely acceptable. Also, never but directly from latam website, buy directly with Quantas, they will do everything they can to make your life miserable if something wrong happens and you might need to reschedule or csncel yoir flight.
Like your review style and witty sense of humour! An 'interesting' bisiness class service thats for sure.....maybe Latam thought you'd be doing bush walks on your arrival hence the carb loading🤣 The qf bizzo lounge really is an embarrassment to the airline.....they've been talking up an upgrade for forever, it cant happen soon enough, the springs seats have been a feature for the the past 5 years🤣 with billion dollar profits one would think Qf could replace some furniture lol. Hope you enjoyed your trip to NZ!
Great report buddy, mind you it doesn't entice me to fly with Latam. If SYD airport is sung 34L and 34R runway, Latam flies over our place as we live near the city/airport, I'm sure I waved to you 🤣
Flew business back from Easter island in a 787 with these sorts of seats. Not the best. Flying there was ok in a 1-2-1 layout with modern business seating. Didn't bother with TV or movies. Have only ever flown economy within South America but found LATAM to be good
4:51 So the lounge smelt of burned toast and it turns out someone had burnt their toast but the presenter had no idea what was going on there. If I'm not mistaken I think it smelt of burnt toast because someone had burnt their toast.😅

Sydney Qantas lounge is a joke. Your fishbowl view makes me laugh every time . I hated the Latam “experience”. I’m only 5ft and was very uncomfortable. I found the FAs very aloof too. And as you say , if you have someone next to you (which I did) you can’t get out to use the loo. ESP if you have a very large 6ft+ man next to me on the aisle. My legs are not long enough for that
We are flying jclass in dec not looking forward to it after this review i just come home on china eastern in jclass and for a cheap airline they was great got hot towels and hot meals and there A330 has the exact same jclass seats in the same configuration was very comfortable.. ..ive traveled lan and latam and they have definitely have lowered their standards alot i last travelled in their economy class in may 2024 was not happy at all meal was pene in red pasta sauce and a bread roll well thats a better change from their vegi sandwiches a cibata roll with eggplant n capsicum yuck......which they had on their menu for yeaaaaars......i do hear they dont serve welcome drinks or hot towels and no amenity kits which is a shame especially after paying over 3000 for two of us....and i hope qantas lounge gets a upgrade of sorts because the last visit had the same issues in this review......

The "fish-eye on a stick" camera gimmick should be used more sparingly. (*much* more sparingly)
100%
Bullshit
Yes, look absolutely awful and distracts from the otherwise well done video

Lol how weird was that snack tray - a bread roll to top it off. Random

Very interesting, it's still very bare bones.
For all that I find LATAM far better than Qantas's crappy 737 service
@@puppetoz Yes, the actual aircraft is in a totally different league from the B737.

Loving your videos so far! Keep them coming for sure :)
Thank you! Will do!
I Havent Experience Latam Yet.Great Trip Report
Thanks for watching!

Cheers! Hopefully the upgrade will happen sooner rather than later!

Also, does burnt toast stink?
You have your answer to your lounge access question in your hands.... You purchased your business class tix from Qantas
Not a Qantas flight number though…
You can access QF J lounge as LATAM still has an agreement with QF despite leaving OW. Also if booked on a codeshare it would have been a QF flight
No I wasn't on a QF flight number/wasn't codeshare. From what I can find the lounge access is only when on a QF flight number.
I have neither good or bad points to this review. It was okay to watch.
lol
I laughed way too hard at “it’s red now because it’s food time”?
Very entertaining and amusing review I liked the banter. I quite liked the fish eye lens too as you can see what is going on around you, cheers
Thanks! 👍
Actually have flown LATAM both in economy and business. Think the service is better economy, for some reason.
Interesting insight!
Lousy video with Insta360; should use sparingly
interesting
Latam is very budget on there sectors between aus and nz in all classes
Very true...

How tall are u actually!😂😂
❤chur bro
Yeah, that’s just how Chileans eat.
Is it possible they did the service while you were asleep and when you woke and wanted food they had to cobble something together
Nope, this came straight from the trolley as they came down the aisle.
Loved the 'fisheye' transitions during your walks through terminal.
Interesting, it seems pretty polarising.
@@FlightFormula I'm sure I wouldn't have clicked on the thumbnail without its curious format.
Definitely looks an awful experience
You whinge too much bro. Next time swim.
lol
Latam is crap. Greetings from Brazil
air new zealand business class is better
probably
