Maybe it's the Pacific flights that are bad or mediocre--not many airlines go to South American from Sydney so there's not a lot of choice, unfortunately.
I've flown with LAN twice to Brazil and they seemed to use the most outdated aircraft with the fewest amenities to go from Sydney to Santiago. Santiago to Sao Paulo (and vice versa) was a much better flight, better food, service etc.

Susan7,
I'll have to disagree about the equipment they use on the SCL-SYD route. LAN uses A343s. They acquired the planes around 2001. The 340 series didn't pan out as the most successful model for Airbus but it is a fairly new model with all the latest technology.
