LAN airlines expands
LAN Airlines, a member of the oneworld global alliance, tomorrow will introduce a fifth weekly flight from Sydney to Santiago, and has foreshadowed a sixth weekly service by November 2006.
Serving more than 30 destinations throughout South and Central America, the LAN group is well-placed to accommodate soaring demand for travel to this region, using Santiago as its primary hub.
LAN’s fifth flight from Sydney will operate every Tuesday, complementing its current schedule of Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday services.
Flight LA 800 departs Sydney at 10.15am, arriving in Santiago, via Auckland, New Zealand, at 12.10pm the same day – a journey of 16 ½ hours.
The return service, flight LA801, leaves Santiago at 11.10 pm every Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, arriving in Sydney, via Auckland, at 7.20 am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays – a total flight time of 18 hours.
All LAN Airlines flights from Australia are operated with 259-seat Airbus A340-300 aircraft, with personal video screens in every seat in each of the three classes.
The Sydney – Santiago flights are code-shared with fellow oneworld member Qantas, which enables passengers from throughout Australia to connect with LAN’s Sydney departures, as well as providing onward domestic flights for passengers arriving from South America.
Travellers from cities other than Sydney can fly with Qantas to Auckland in order to connect with the LAN Airlines services to South America – and on their return journeys, passengers can connect with flights from Auckland to their home cities.
