This distinction reaffirms the high regard that users themselves have for the airline in the international market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) awards are notable for being based exclusively on passenger feedback:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anonymous Evaluation:<\/strong> Ratings are collected directly through Concur&#8217;s TripIt, the world&#8217;s most widely used travel organizing application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Study Scope:<\/strong> For the 2026 edition, passengers rated more than one million flights spanning over 600 airlines worldwide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Efficient Methodology:<\/strong> Travelers evaluate flights using a five-star scale in an optimized format that allows the survey to be completed in less than 15 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subcategories Analyzed:<\/strong> The platform measures five key inflight aspects: seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment, and Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This achievement in cabin service complements the recognition for Best Inflight Entertainment (IFE) in South America received by the carrier in February of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/06\/latam-airlines-unveils-its-first-embraer-e195-e2.html\">LATAM Airlines Unveils Its First Embraer E195-E2<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Constantly Evolving Travel Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This award reflects the continuous improvements the airline has implemented across its inflight product, ranging from cabin interior redesigns to the gastronomic offering, amenities, and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Premium Business: South American Identity in the Air<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2025, the company launched its new Premium Business experience, representing a complete overhaul of the cabin inspired by the group&#8217;s South American roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Essence of the Continent:<\/strong> Every detail, from the color palette to the service rituals, seeks to reflect the warmth, richness, and sophistication of Latin America.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>World-Class Hospitality:<\/strong> The product combines the precision of global service standards with the distinct rhythm and identity of the region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gastronomy with Local Identity and Cutting-Edge Flair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The current culinary offering fuses the continent&#8217;s natural and cultural diversity with avant-garde culinary techniques, prioritizing seasonality and local ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The central pillar of this strategy is the <em>Sabores que Transportan<\/em> (Flavors that Transport) program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Emerging Chefs:<\/strong> Every three months, a new dish designed by emerging South American chefs is introduced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-Haul Routes:<\/strong> This culinary experience is available on long-haul flights departing from Chile, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, bringing the stories and flavors of different regions directly on board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The triple recognition at the 2026 APEX Best Awards validates the airline group&#8217;s strategy of constant investment and personalization of the inflight experience. Through high-impact initiatives such as the renovation of its Premium Business class and the consolidation of the <em>Sabores que Transportan<\/em> culinary program, the airline not only elevates its
