Got it from another site. Usually some A.net stuff though.

Jump to postLan Chile could do itself a favour by retourning to the old scheme.
Not only should the flight attendants get a better attitude, but the entire airline should return to their old customer service standards.
As a "lanfan" no more, I can tell you this airline is only a shadow of its former self. What was once an airline of class, customer service, and absolute professionalism has transformed itself into another banana boat. From my time working at <acronym title="Miami - International (MIA / KMIA), USA -...

Jump to postToday I was eating lunch in Conc.A Miami Subs @MIA, and I was an Aeropostal A320 with REG# N340ML.
Does this mean that the airplane is Registered in the USA? Or that Venezuela also uses the "N" Prefix?

I love the 767-300ER!
I believe AA options on the 737 can be converted to '600s?
Anybody know for sure?
I believe AWA flew the 747-200, they were used on PHX- Hawai amongst other flights.

Jump to postWell MIA takes the cake for 727's! American bases its carribbean ops with 727's at MIA, quite a few of them. Delta usually has a 727 at the gate, Continental use to have 727's to IAH (;-( used to fly those alot!! Some Cargo Op's PanAM use to have loads United sends a few over, same with North West.

I saw what im pretty sure what was an AA 737-800. It had two engines on the wings, and it was to shor to be a 757. It had the distinctive 737 nose. Anyone know what routes the 738's fly from MIA?
Thanks

Does anyone know when Lanchile will take delivery of its A320 A319 A\C.?

-Is G-VMIA the 747-100 that was leased to Lan Chile the earlier part of this decade? I remember seeing it at MIA when my dad was the Station Manager there, he had one of the F/A's give me a walthrough of the Aircraft. I believe the plane was on wet-lease from Aer Lingus, anybody have more info?

When Pan Am aquires a 747 for domestic service, then I will bow as I did to Panamerican Ariways, the only airline who almost came close to getting the "Flag Carrier" status. My prayers are with PanAmII!

the site should be operational soon.
I saw a pic of a LanPeru 737. It is identical C/S to the new Lan Chile scheme but where on LanChile it says "Chile" this one says "Peru", and easy and inexpensive paint job.

Yes, its a 200 model. I read that it only has like 2 original parts. They are speculated to of have costed more than what the taxpayers paid but Boeing picked up the slack to have the prestige of carrying Slick Willy and Pres. Hillary.

I think the Pope uses Alitalita a majority of the time. He used an Alitalia MD11 to travel to Cuba. I remember when he went to Chile he flew in Lanchile. I think he uses the country's flag carrier when available (In the US case, I dont know) if not he flies ALITALIA.
