LAN Airlines announced today that its sales and check-in system will be undergoing a comprehensive update between September 8 and 9, with the purpose of being at the forefront of technology and ensuring the best quality of service for our passengers.

This process entails a global software transition throughout the Company at all its points of sale including airports, travel agencies, sales offices, and LAN.com.

This means that some of the services and sales channels that our passengers normally use will be temporarily interrupted and unavailable. Services that will be temporarily affected include reservations, sales, ticket exchange and check-in through LAN.com, contact centers and sales offices.  

LAN is dedicated to implementing the update as quickly and efficiently as possible and is dedicated to providing passengers with our signature quality service during this period of time.

In order to help avoid any unnecessary inconvenience during this process we encourage passengers to follow a few easy preventative measures:

• Be at the airport at the check-in time indicated in your boarding pass, that is, 2 hours before departure for domestic flights (within South America), and 4 hours before departure for international flights.
  
• Pre-check-in through our website (www.LAN.com) no earlier than 48 hours, and no later than 2 hours before the flight

• If it is not possible to complete pre-check-in before going to the airport, please print out a copy of your e-ticket with your record locator number and take it with you to present at check-in.
