LAN Business Class to Auckland
LAN 787 Business Class from Sydney to Auckland
Deciding on my connecting flight to New Zealand was a challenge from the beginning. Emirates’ SYD-CHC flight was my first choice but was too early to make the connection. I finally settled on LATAM’s 5th freedom flight after both Qantas and Air New Zealand downgraded lie flat equipment to crappy regional 738s and changed departure times by more than 3 hours in the last 3 months. Apparently Qantas and Air New Zealand schedules mean nothing more than a month or two in advance. So, LATAM’s daily lie flat 787 seemed to the be lesser of the evils.
The downside of a bus gate is... a bus gate and a bus.
Fortunately, they opened a Business Class lane.
Not the most exciting cabin and a 2-2-2 configuration at that. Ugh.
Pleasant but not the most efficient cabin crew which seemed pretty challenged serving lunch before we began our descent. On the other hand, lunch was excellent when it finally arrived.
Very tasty albeit not very warm it was finally delivered.
Huh?
Nice view of Auckland.
Welcome to New Zealand! LOL.
