Europe to South America - which airline??
 
I am in the process of trying to book econonmy (coach) flights from London to Quito or Guayaquil in Ecuador. Favoured airlines based on price are Iberia or LAN, via Madrid or KLM via Amsterdam. I really don't want to fly via the USA, which is marginally cheaper mainly because of the visa waiver programme and the additional costs of travel insurance. Any body have any thoughts on which airline offers the best service/comfort. I have flown LAN, trans pacific once and they were ok but never KLM or Iberia. Any thoughts or opinions would be much appreciated.

I took the KLM option a few years ago because

a) there were flights from my local airport
b) the connection times at AMS were good
c) no need to change planes halfway through the trip - which was reason enough to avoid the US

This is only second hand info but NO to Iberia.
