LAN Airlines’ Premium Business Class – Service Highlights:

Full-Flat Seats, Maximum Comfort and Privacy

LAN Airlines and its affiliates’ Premium Business Class combines the best of First and Business classes and features comfortable, full flat, 180 degree reclining seats, so passengers can sleep in a totally horizontal position, a feature that only a select group of airlines in the world offer their passengers. The concept is based on what business travelers value most on long-haul flights: the ability to rest.

  • Seat panels provide increased privacy and comfort that allow passengers to enjoy a sense of personal space, paired with amenities such as down comforters, soft pillows and newly upholstered chairs – all of these features are designed to ensure a relaxing in-flight experience.

Gourmet Cuisine

  • Passengers traveling on Premium Business Class can enjoy a sophisticated gourmet menu that reflects the flavors of South America using the freshest selection of ingredients.
  • The in-flight menu is paired with a wine list featuring some of the finest selections from around the world.
  • A highly trained flight crew can help passengers review the wine list while delivering unparalleled service that ensures passengers’ utmost comfort.

In-Flight Entertainment

  • LAN offers a state-of-the-art entertainment system that only a select group of airlines in the world provide their passengers.
  • The robust in-flight entertainment program on individual screens features 44 movies, 95 TV programs, 550 music CDs and 14 video games – all on demand. Two of these games (Chess and Battleship) have a multiplayer feature, so several passengers can play at the same time.
  • A high-tech control panel allows passengers to make their entertainment selection from their seat via remote control or through a touch-screen. Passengers can fast-forward, rewind or pause their selections as well.
