LATAM airlines

How is LATAM airlines for travel to South America? Flights are almost half what other flights are showing and wondered if there is a reason.

Supply and demand?

Marketing strategy?

Fighting established competition?

Why does one gas station charge less than the station down the block?

FWIW, LATAM is the new airline formed by the merger of LAN and TAM. Currently the largest in South America, with hubs in Santiago, Lima, Sao Paulo and Bogota. Member of OneWorld alliance. Solid airline.

Good to hear it is solid. I didn't realize it was a merger of LAN and TAM. Just didn't want to get stuck again on one of the off-brand budget-for-a-reason airlines. Saving money is great, to a point.....

And I do realize that some of the lesser known airlines are excellent and that all have their strengths and weaknesses.

If you want a laugh when thinking about no-frills carriers, listen to Bob Newhart and the Mrs Grace L Ferguson Airline and Storm Door Company.
