Review of LAN Airlines flight from Madrid to Frankfurt in Economy

An 8/10 comfort rating with a LCC-like seat pitch ? You are really too kind, or maybe the thrill of flying on a 787 made you too enthusiastic ;)

Why are you so severe with FRA's cleanliness ?

Thanks for this report, and for your signature ultra-sharp night pictures !

Very great FR. You're lucky to have taken the first dreamliner of LAN. The pitch is very little but your pictures are very perfect. What camera do you use?

Congratulations for this FR so perfect.

I wait your next FR with a big pleasure.

Thanks for sharing this FR

Business seats look like TK business seats

Nice flight but I'm not a fan of the nightmareliner ;)

Great FR!

The plane looks great, the pitch, not so much...

I have my doubts on the comfort of this configuration on a transatlantic flight...how was the recline?

I hope AV doesn't choose to go the LA way on its 787s

I found a nice detail the champagne and nuts when you told them why you were flying that particular flight...it's nice to see how they pamper aviation geeks!

Saludos!

Thank you for the report!

SCL-MAD must be a 11-12hrs flight, that must be a nightmare with such a small seat pitch!

With a 787 on this route, the Iberia flights must be empty (as far as I am concerned, I wouldn't fly a 320/321 if I can fly this 787 with IFE) ? have you compared the prices?

I think I'll wait more months or even years before I fly on board Dreamliner until Boeing fixes all the problems which occured on the B787.

I agree with Durian about the pitch in Economy Class.

Personnaly, I find the new Iberia corporate logo ugly.

Thanks Flavien

Thanks for sharing Flavien !

You were lucky to fly on this 787. I remember this saturday that the flight was operated with a Air Europa A330... I can't even imagine your reaction to this. lol

The pitch seems to be really tight, The SCL-MAD or return leg concerning it and the duration of the flight would make you feel so cramped ! (Then I looked up, +1000 to DURIAN. lol)

Really nice flight and experience tho, really nice FA and touching attentions. I'd definitely fly them instead of IB on this route. So bad the MAD-CDG-MAD route is discontinued.

Your night shots are so nice ! well done.

Thanks for this FR I need to find a way to get on these fifth freedom flights, I would love to be able to fly on these birds! Alas nothing interesting flies out of VIE or BUD :(

Thanks for this FR.

I really like the tones of LAN's cabins.

Nice service on such a flight.

Which 787 do you still have to try on European flights? Norwegian and Thomson?

Pas mal ce 787 LAN,

J'aime bien cette compagnie ,

Cabine très agréable ,par contre le pitch à l'air moyen non !

Petit catering sympa sur ce vol ,

Superbes photos de jour comme de nuit ,et belle vidéo ,

À bientôt

Thanks for sharing this interesting 5th freedom route. I'm surprised that the pitch is so tight considering the loooong flights that these aircraft are doing. Appart from that it is a beautiful airplane inside and out. Beautiful pics as usual, especially your signature night spotting pics.

Thanks for sampling LA 787.

The J cabin looks terribly common.

The Y cabin looks nice even if the pitch is a scandal. It fits people under 1.6 meter.

For those (like me) who complain about UU new catering in Y on Medium haul routes, looking at the box you were offered will change our mind. And you were lucky to get 2 of them (and the welcome drink) = a tribute to FA.

Did not you try the window shutters?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this report with LA 787.

nice pics during night as usual.

Thanks for this nice report :)

Awesome night spotting :D !!!!!

same comment as JAM lol ;-)

I like the mood lighting variations during pretake off in your video, it looks like the cabin crew plays with it!

see you soon for the last leg!

Not bad this 787 LAN,

I like this company,

Very pleasant cabin, the pitch is tight!

Small nice catering on this fligth,

Beautiful pictures in the daytime and at night, and beautiful video,

See you soon

Lol

Thank you for this FR Flavien,

Indeed this fitth freedom route is a very good opportunity to fly LA's 787.

Very kind of FAs to bring Champagne for an avgeek.

Cabin atmosphere looks very airy.

See you for the next leg!

Thanks for this special report full of superb pictures. I noticed that IB is already phasing in their new logo which is a bit disappointing in my humble opinion. The old one was just perfect with the crown and the I and B fused together.

Nice to read about the good service you received from the crew. The cabin looks airy as you said but personally I think that the blue colors of their seats would have been more conducive to relaxation than the warm red tones in the J cabin.

Thank you for this FR.

Too bad you couldn't make it to the IB lounge at T4, it's well worth it. Well, I guess it's only a matter of time ;)

Nice gesture from the staff but it's the opposite of tactful in the view and know of the rest of the Y passengers. I would have noticed and blamed it, you know that ;)

As usual, very nice nightshots !
