Important to remember: sharklets were only available in A320 family in 2012. Not all frames could be retrofitted with sharklets, just some more recent ones at the time (wing structure related).
LAA order came around this time. LUS planes are older than that, and thus have no sharklets.

Yes, all LA A350 belong to Latam Brasil. QR had subleased 5 frames, and 4 of them were returned recently (A7-AMB, AQA, AQB, AQC) Still curious to know their fate. A7-AMB was previously registered in Brazil as PR-XTF. The other 3 were not registered, but they would supposedly be PR-XTJ, XTK, XTL. QR ...
Jump to postA LATAM Brazil Flight from JNB to DPS is about to arrive. An A359. Weird! LA9517 on FR24. Looks like it is scheduled to depart LA9518 on Monday back to JNB. I also see LA 9520 from SAO to DPS for Sunday, and A359. LATAM is serious about repatriation flights, I assume. Nice job, stay safe. Just read...

Brazilian website Passageiro de Primeira (proxy to TPG) analyzed this topic a few months ago (link below in Portuguese).

Local website is announcing this as official response from Latam (link in Portuguese).
The config has been announced a while ago and the first renovated 767 has been flying for a few months now (mainly Peru routes). The first 77W (PT-MUD) has also been flying for a month now (mainly GRU-MAD). But the event mentioned by the OP was the official launch in Brazil, held inside the new line...

There is already a 767 in commercial service with the new cabins, but it is based in LIM. That said, the first 77W slated to receive the new cabins was flown to AUH. PT-MUD has been in AUH since October, but I am not sure if it started retrofit since then... There was already a slack in JJ longhaul...
Jump to postThen you both are correct...jayunited mentioned Pratt & Whitney 77Es (sUA)...the 1 sCO is a GE powered.
Jump to postIt probably can. LA/JJ flew GRU-BOG with A320 CEO in the past. I took this flight several times during the last 2 years.
Jump to postNice report!
This plane was A7-AMA, one of the 2 A359s they leased from Latam.
Old IPTE business class seat. 2-4-2 across, lie flat.
Jump to postNowadays the phrase is not being used anymore, although some planes still have this from last paint job. This was a reference to their previous service of using a red carpet when boarding (and subliminar higher level service - at least intended).
Jump to postmsn 226 and 245 were negotiated from JJ to HU
I guess the deal is a bit different, since QR is operating LA/JJ painted frames, and HU is operating these planes in their own colors
All 77Ws are GE90 powered

Both fly to GRU and only BA to GIG. LA/JJ used to fly GIG-LHR regularly in the past, now I guess it is only seasonal/one-offs (if ever).
