I recently went on a flight; LA800 YSSY - NZAA (SYD-AKL). It was on a 787-9 Dreamliner, this plane usually serves LATAM’s route: Santiago-Auckland-Sydney-Auckland-Santiago-Auckland-Sydney-Auckland (etc). I was in economy (Seat 36A). The meal was average, the flight attendants were nice and the In-Flight entertainment had good variety. It departed on time (best of all it was only 2hrs, 1 and a half hours shorter than normal. The legroom was pretty good for a 2hr (usually 3hr) Flight. But if you were going to Santiago, I don’t thik the legroom would be a good enough size for that long journey. The plane was great, as always with Dreamliner, the cabin lights and mood lighting were really comforting. The large windows of the Dreamliner were great for looking at scenery (when there was some) and let a lot of natural light in. The window tint is great, instead of window shades.
