Flights
Choosing the right airline for your journey to Latin America is an important part of the holiday planning process. Fortunately, your Travel Consultant will be on hand to help you make the selection, taking into account the route, obviously, but also factors such as connection times and convenience, service, flexibility and of course, price and value for your particular dates of travel.
On long haul routes, most airlines offer as standard complimentary meals and bar service, individual seat back entertainment systems, and headsets. When travelling business or first class, you can expect to have access to airline lounges around the world and receive complimentary amenity kits on board.
Some airlines offer only a two class service (economy and business or club class). More companies are now reintroducing first class seats and many have launched a premium economy service which offers some benefits of the premium classes at a more affordable price. Even in economy some airlines allow you to pre-book a seat with extra legroom for a modest supplement.
Here we highlight the major carriers serving Latin America and some of the factors which, in our opinion, might make them worth considering for your own holiday.
