United returns to Chile

(united.com 12-5-14)

United Airlines launches its new daily flights between Houston and Santiago, Chile, this Sunday, offering the only nonstop service between the airline's principal Latin American gateway and the Chilean capital.

"The new Santiago service is a great addition to United's Latin American route portfolio," said John Slater, United's vice president of sales for the Americas. "These flights will not only give Houston-area travelers nonstop access to Santiago, but will also provide convenient one-stop connections at the hub to and from dozens of cities in United's global route network, including key markets such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington and Tokyo."

Flight 847 will depart Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston daily at 9:35 p.m., arriving at Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago at 10:10 a.m. the following day (all times local.) On the return, flight 846 will depart Santiago at 11 p.m., arriving in Houston at 5:55 a.m. the next day.

United will operate the flights using Boeing 767-300 aircraft with a total of 214 seats – 30 flat-bed seats with 180 degree recline in United BusinessFirst and 184 seats in United Economy, including 49 Economy Plus extra-legroom seats. Every customer on the aircraft will have personal on-demand in-seat entertainment.

The best McDonald's ever

Sadly, this McDonald's is not there anymore. It was however the best McDonald's I have ever been to.

Located on Avenida Pedro Montt in Valparaiso, Chile, it was three stories of spacious and open dining. Decorated with a local "Puerto" theme is was always fun to go up to the top story and eat by one of the open tall windows and listen to the bustling city below.

The food was actually very delicious too, which is rarely said when describing McDonald's food.

I'm glad I will have the memories of this place but very sad too.
