Where did you get this information? Can you provide specifics, please? TAM Airlines out of North America or Europe? I fly TAM Airlines exclusively, and have never, ever had any problem whatsoever. As a matter of fact, the people at TAM - both on the ground and in the air - are the nicest of any airl...
