Yep, there are 4 spaces available 🙂

The overall group size is 25 (so 21 people booked at the moment), 3 men and 18 women. Their ages range from late 40s to early 80s.

Don't worry, this departure is guaranteed!

Thanks Vickie

I may have posted this again as I've had posts not appear in the past. You can ignore the next one!!

Actually, one other question. Is there an upgrade available for the long haul flight, and if so, how much would it be, and has anyone upgraded (I could be the only one not upgraded for all I know  :))

Current price for a return business class upgrade London to Santiago via Madrid with LATAM airlines is £2455

If you would like the upgrade, we would need full payment of the supplement as we will need to pay the airline straight away, and this would be non refundable in the event of cancellation.

I am just finding out how many people have upgraded so I'll get back to you asap 🙂

Many thanks,

Vickie

That would go a long way towards spending money! Inhave to convert that to Euro as well!!! Will have a serious think!!

Thanks,

Una

Your upgrade is a snip compared by my LATAM business upgrade quote of £4700 for my Chile etc holiday in November!!

The cost of a Business class upgrade London-Madrid-Santiago round trip is now £2825. We would need full payment to confirm as we would need to pay the airline straightaway 🙂

Many thanks,

Vickie

I'm still debating an upgrade as that would go a long way towards spending money! And I know the price will change in the meantime. But is there any update on whether any/some/all have upgraded or is anyone still in economy (besides me!)

Thanks

Una

Of the 20 people booked 7 have upgraded to business class.

LATAM do not offer a premium economy cabin on their flights between London and Sao Paulo.

Many thanks,

Vickie

Apologies for this, it was a mistake on the paperwork. We've corrected it and sent you new documents.

Many thanks,

Vickie

Also, given the current state of emergency in Santiago, does every thing  go ahead as planned if its still in place by the date of the trip?

Thanks Una

A jacket is not supplied for this trip, so we'd recommend you bring a bring a warm down jacket and the best waterproof you have.

We are closely monitoring the situation in Santiago and hopefully this will be resolved before the departure date. If not, we will put contingency plans in place and all customers will be contacted directly in good time to advise of any changes.

Many thanks,

Vickie are you sure about the jacket? Hurtigruten supply them on all Antarctica trips as far as I’m aware? It’s only a lightweight rain coat, we needed to wear our layers underneath it when I was there last year. It’s more for them to see us when we were out on landings than anything else.

Thanks Vickie.

Sorry, crossed wires our end! Yes, you will be provided with a jacket but we suggest bringing your own warm and waterproof jacket too 🙂

Is Premium Economy an option with LATAM? Or just a one way upgrade outbound so you are well rested to start the trip? We flew with BA and in our group everyone had upgraded to Premium Economy or Business class on the way out at least.

Last year I went on the Chile trip which uses LATAM to Santiago via Sau Paulo, I had to do a lot of digging on the LATAM website but found they do economy seats with more legroom. Again takes a bit of hunting but there is a phone number which appears to put you though to LATAM in Brazil. I succeeded in booking these seats which were supposed to be about £90 extra each way. Turned out they couldn't process my UK credit card and told me to pay at the airport, They never asked for the money so outgoing it was free. Somehow managed to get a free upgrade to business class on the way back, which was nice. Hope this might be of help.
