LATAM Economy is part of the Birthday Bash Trip Report.
Business class seats were not offered between San Juan and Medellin. I proceeded to pay $60 to upgrade to the front of the plane. That was done so I could clear customs faster (see Avianca SJU-MDE: No Business But Right Up Front). On the way from Medellin to Miami, I again looked for business class. Again, I found that it was not offered. Premium economy is available. Since the flight is only 3.5 hours, I opted to save my points and fly economy. Unlike when I entered Colombia, I was not in a hurry to get to customs and immigration. Thanks to Global Entry, the anxiety of being stuck in an endless line is not a concern.
Would you burn your points on premium economy?
