LAN Airlines has doubled the number of in-flight movies available to passengers

LAN Airlines has improved its selection of in-flight entertainment on board long-haul flights on its Boeing 767, Boeing 787 and Airbus A340 fleet. By increasing the number of movies from 45 to 110, the airline group now has the widest range of in-flight entertainment in South America.

The 110 movies offered on board LAN flights include 12 new releases every month, eight popular movies from recent months, 10 of the best Latin American films, plus 80 of the best movies of all time.

In addition to movies, the in-flight entertainment features three TV shows that are updated every six months, 42 TV channels, over 1,000 music CDs (10 new CDs each month), 10 exclusive audio channels and 25 games that allow passengers to play alone or with other passengers.

"Passenger feedback indicates that movies, especially new releases, are highly valued. We have therefore, invested in increasing our in-flight selection considerably which now positions us well above other airlines in the region and in the top ten worldwide,” said Fernanda Toro, Travel Experience Manager LAN.

“We are very pleased with our current selection of in-flight entertainment which includes the popular TV series The Newsroom, of which the 3rd season is available on board in its entirety. Eight of the movies available on LAN flights were nominated for Oscars in 2013, including Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi, Les Miserables, Argo and Amour”, continued Fernanda Toro.

Prominent journalist and movie critic, Ernesto Ayala, is responsible for selecting content for LAN’s in-flight entertainment, and has been working with LAN for four years.

"Our aim is to provide passengers with quality movies and a variety of choices so that there is something for everyone. Each month we offer the best comedies, dramas, romantic movies, action movies and independent films," said Ernesto Ayala.

New in-flight entertainment system
In 2012, LAN Airlines implemented a new entertainment system on board its Boeing 767 and 787 aircraft. The key features of the new LAN in-flight entertainment system include higher definition screens and the new generation of 100% touch-screen technology (9-inch for Economy Class and 15.4-inch for Premium Business Class).
For convenience, there is a universal connection that enables passengers to charge their computers, mobile phones, iPods, tablets or other electronic items.
