Spaghettién, since it is required to comply with immigration requirements such as the visa case, we will have to go through this process.

Given the legislationón of United States, passengers must be interviewed. Hereí I will ask youán if the suitcase is yours, if someone helped youó to pack or if you accepted somethingún artísomeone's ass, all for safety.

Something más de 5 añundress themés, the airínea restarts this route, that are added internationally to Bogotaá, Lima, Santiago and Buenos Aires, consolidating its positionón in the market, that now with flights to Miami reinforceá your growth strategy Ecuador, opening the doors to meás frequencies and destinations in case the núgroupers be favorable.

Tip: if they travel abroad, I recommend the SmartSim chip, found leaving duty-free in Quito and Guayaquil:

let's remember, that between Quito and Miami, LATAM Ecuador operateá a daily flight from Monday to Sunday on Airbus A320ceo and neo aircraft, highlighting that this first flight was carried out on an A320 cláphysical.

To continue, Let's remember the times in which these flights areán operand:

• XL1454 takes off from Quito at 08:30 and lands in Miami at 13:45 after 4 hours and 15 minutes.
• XL1453 takes off from Miami at 14:35 hours and lands in Quito at 18:55 hours after 4 hours and 20 minutes.

Boarding continues in LATAM by groups, what isán indicated on your boarding pass, so it is important that you review this informationón and approach the boarding gate only when your group is called.

How are flights to USA, your name couldíto be randomly selected to undergo control and reviewón of your luggage, so I recommend being near the room, because if your name is called and you don't go through the control, I won't be able toás address.

Let us remember that the avión assigned for each díIt's an A320 that arrivesá on the flight from Lima operated by LATAM Perú, after its arrival in Quito it is operated by the Ecuadorian subsidiary. For this first flight, the grandfatherón was the A320-214 matrícula CC-BFP con núMSN5707 serial grouper, which has 9 años since his first flight on the airlineínea is thereá configured for 174 seats when operating in two classes.

I highly recommend using the applicationóLATAM no., where canán upload your travel documents in advanceón, select seats and know the status of your flight. Spaghettiécan'tán apply for upgrade with coupons (if they belong to the club LATAM Pass) for instance.

Good news was that this first flight continuedó with 100% of occupationón, which includedó an important compositionónumber of Brazilian travelersños, passengers connecting from Lima and even other cities in the countryís how Cuenca.

Let's talk about the seats. If you haven't flown in LATAM for some timeún time and más aún on one of their A320s, on this route noticeás some changes to the interior of the aircraft. For instance, they have new seats, más interior capacity and for example the entrance to the aircraftón the floor simulates wood.

Let's start talking about one of the most important topics.ás important and that máif they are interested: the food service. It is certainly a topic that many want to know, ¿they give you some food? The answer is yesí.

First we must indicate that the new concept isá focused on the environmental sustainability, so all containers and service is now in artíasses that can be recycled. Point for LATAM for this campaignña.

Let's talk about the menuú. In Economy it was offeredó a single optionón, which was composed of a drink of your choiceón, máIt's a good jam sandwichón and hot cheese, máIt's a blackberry pie (teníto another name) and fresh fruits. I must admit that the cake was very delicious and I wasé wanting to repeat myself, really tasty.

However, I must indicate that the return flight from Miami gané upgrade a Premium Economy usando un cupón what do you haveía, this with the aim of being able to show them the difference in the service. The expectation was really high., pero a más of the dessert you see on the right of the next photo, the food was not what was expected.

Habítwo options, one of jamón mountain and another vegetarian, opté jam'són serrano. The taste and presentationóIt wasn't the best, más aún when heating it causes the lettuce to wilt, giving the food a bad image.

The positive was having two options for vegetarians, dessert and that you can choose wine or beer as a drink, más the attentionón that of the crew team that was very good and personalized, in both cabins. I keep the food in Economy.

Now let's go to entertainment. LATAM does not offer más in your A320 fleet single screens or higher (IFE), so everything has been transferred to the LATAM Play system, which offers a wide range of música, byínumbers and series. To connect you just have to add the avi's local WiFi networkón and scan the cóI say QR that is found on each seat.

A más of videos, spaghettién findás the live map, where canás follow your flight in real time, know the altitude, speed and más details, in case you want to knowáso much time left, it's a great tool.

Thoseí, don't forget to bring your own audíheadphones or activate subtíresult, out of respect for othersás. SpaghettiéDoes not apply if you bring your own previously downloaded content.

The flight took offó at 8:46 am and after 3 hours and 46 minutes we land within the itinerary at Miami International Airport, marking theí the return of an airplaneíEcuadorian line to this important destination. As in the podíto be less, the firefighters aeroáMiami uticos welcomed us with the traditional water arch.

Important, LATAM operates in the south terminal or concourse J of the Miami Airport, take this into account for transfers, to access transportationúmilitary or private.

Hasta pasar migrationón and waiting for luggage, passed by 45 minutes, but the main delay was in immigrationón donde existían only 3 agents to meet our flight, which at least at that moment was the úunique in that time slot.

We close this report by congratulating LATAM Ecuador along your new route or más good, resumptionón of a key destination and that with the Airbus A320 you will surely be ableá consolidate the éprofitable success of operations. Demand is high on the first flights and we hope it stays that way.í in time, carrying meás frequencies and whyé don't think about a flight tooéfrom Guayaquil.
