FLIGHT REPORT | LATAM BUSINESS CLASS REVIEW 787 | €25 FROM MADRID TO SANTIAGO

We flew from Madrid to Santiago in business class with LATAM Airlines for 13 hours paying 25 euros. What a bargain, right? The normal price for this flight (one way) is over €3000.
Buying a ticket in economy and getting to fly in business is never bad. On this flight from Madrid to Santiago, we were able to benefit from a free upgrade with LATAM Airlines. This meant we were able to try out the LATAM 787 Business Class product.
A while back we wrote about a promotion LATAM were offering which allowed you to apply for a status match. As a result, I became LATAM Black for free. In short, this means I was able to apply for a space-available free LATAM business upgrade providing I either purchased a paid ‘Plus’ or ‘Top’ fare. Alternatively, it’s also possible if you purchase a reward ticket.
So, in the end, the ticket cost 30,000 Avios, plus just €25 each from Madrid to Santiago. Not bad, right? The process of applying for an upgrade was fairly easy. It’s done on a first-come, first-served basis. This meant checking in online exactly 48 hours before the flight and applying to be on the upgrade list. 12 hours prior to flying the upgrade was confirmed.

How did you know you will get upgraded?

[@AnotherExcusetoTravel]

When you check-in online, you can apply for the upgrade. LATAM then show you a list, which indicates your ranking for an upgrade. On the day of departure, the upgrades are allocated, and your boarding card is changed to business and you receive an email informing you as well. We also used the ExpertFlyer website when booking, to find a flight where the business cabin looked pretty empty, so we had a much higher chance of being upgraded.

How did you get upgraded?

[@AnotherExcusetoTravel]

By the time I was flying being a LATAM Black member on their scheme, with that you have the right to apply to unlimited upgrades to business class for free (if its available and following some of the rules), also you have 6 vouchers to upgrade someone is flying with you per year, in this route it was 4 vouchers for the companion that gets same priority to be upgraded as you. :)
