LATAM stands for Latin America

Thursday, December 15, 2016
Miami, Florida, United States
I have three hours to wait before I board LATAM Peru Airlines for my overnight non-stop to Lima, Peru. LATAM Peru is a code-share flight with American Airlines. I can't wait to see how that goes.

Since the boarding pass I printed on line was rejected by TSA officials at Miami International Airport in Terminal J, I had to go back to the ticket counter to have a new one printed locally. That was a lucky break for me because the ticket agent offered me an "Invitation to The Lounge." I am unsure about what I did to warrant that but I am not one to turn down a lounge.

Arriving at about 10:30 I have time to kill before we board for my 1:00am flight from Miami to Lima, Peru. The airport is a ghost town from Terminal B on the walk to Terminal J. Nobody is home, no concessions are open and the only people stirring about are cleaners or police officers.

By the time I get to Terminal J I see just a bit of life but not much. Simply put, there don't appear to be too many flights leaving here at 1:00 in the morning.

The lounge offers finger sandwiches, beverages of all types, lots of TV sets and what I wanted most: a soft seat near to electric outlets. Here I recharge my laptop and my phone and write these first three boring housekeeping entries in this travel blog.

I promise that it will get more interesting starting tomorrow.
