Flight Experience

LATAM operates a Boeing 787-9 on this route with the updated business class cabin. The cabin has a staggered 1-2-1 layout which means all seats are lie-flat and have direct aisle access. This layout provides more privacy than the older 2-2-2 layout. Either way, the catering and crew both get solid marks.

It’s always a good idea to check the cabin layout before booking just in case.
