    As a Brit who lives i São Paulo, I've been travelling LATAM business back to the UK for more than a decade. This is a good. fair review. The São Paulo business lounge us absolutely excellent, and my wife and I always have an early meal at Rascal, a hidden restaurant at Guarulhos which few people know about but which is fantastic if you arrive early as we always do pre-flight.

      Thanks Simon, my expectations weren't high and I was impressed. Can't beat the Brasilian charm.
      Have you tried flying British Airways on the same route? They were chasing their tails but the layout on the A350 doesn't work.
      Thanks for the advice on where to eat. Obrigado 👍

      We recently flew the 787 on a 5hr route and once you get over sitting next to someone it's actually not a bad seat.
      Also the cabin crew are consistently good. Introducing themselves and being polite and genuine.

    Latam really did a great job with their refurbishment of cabins, the bulkhead window seats are the best and have the most space. Their mattress pads are better than BA's. The Latam crew is also consistently joyful as you put it, but they are also consistently slow with meal service. Every single Latam flights I've been on, the one-tray dinner service always takes about 2 hours even for a short 6-hr redeye. The food is just ok, so maybe not really worth staying up for if you had food at their lounges.

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  3 месяца назад

      Thanks 👍 yes it is a beautiful product just a shame it's only the 777s. It's interesting you say they are slow perhaps that's the style. In London you are often rushed in and out of the table at a restaurant because the next table brings more profit but in Hungary for example the service is slow because the table is considered yours for the evening.
      Interesting I raised this before in an aviation group that BA on their A350 took 3hrs+ from Sao Paulo and I was sitting in the middle of Business.
      Next time I fly them I'll keep an eye on the service time. Either way glad you enjoyed them 😊

      3x times the price sounds ridiculous? Which site were you using. I fly regularly London-SaoPaulo-London and the prices for both airlines are always very close, I guess it might depend on which Month or a particular day.

    Strange that you found LATAM’s crew better than B.A. I live part time in Brasil and have usually found LATAM’s crew a bit perfunctory as though they are just doing a job. Maybe the Long haul staff are better trained. Internally, overall I prefer Azul or GOL. On my long haul B.A. flights I’ve always found food and service to be excellent. I guess sometimes it’s the luck of the draw. Thanks for the upload, good to see what LATAM offer long haul.

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  9 месяцев назад +1

      It could just be luck. Every member of the LATAM cabin crew were smiley and friendly even when they didn't speak English.
      Compare that to British Airways and it was sadly obvious that while one lady went above and beyond the crew weren't at their best.
      The order service was slower than the previous 5+ flights I'd taken. The meal turned up wrong and my tea was stone cold.
      I will try them again in then future at some point specifically on the A350 to see how things go. This was a one of every other BA service has been excellent.
