And LAN give away free food, so it’s not like they can do the Ryanair thing, making their money by turning up the aircon then charging 5 euros a pop for leprechaun’s doses of soda.

My guess is that if the plane has too few passengers, it will be too light to maintain its regular cruising height, and will float off into orbit. They NEED those passengers. As a trained scientist, I can assure LAN airlines that that is exactly what will happen, and encourage them to start employing me forthwith as human ballast. I will even undertake a strict regime of chocolate consumption to ensure I pull (gravitationally) my weight.
