Don't see any Maximo Airlines destinations on the list. I guess it's because they just announced they cannot pay anyone and the planes are all 'rented' rather than bought.

I flew on an Argentinian plane once and was asked to sit on the other side of the aircraft to even up the weight distribution. I wouldn't have normally minded but I'm only 12 st 4 lb.

The Chilean perspective
LAN is a very competitive and efficient airline, with one of the newest fleets in the world (av. 5 yrs old). This is why people choose to fly with them in ever increasing numbers. Aerolineas on the other hand flies old clunkers, has terrible service and people do not trust them. The market speaks loudly, that's why they are going bankrupt again. Check out how LAN rolls here:
