Peru - LAN Ticket purchase - Peru site

I am trying to purchase a ticket from LIM to CUZ. If I go to the US LAN site, the fare is well over $400. If I enter the Peruvian site, the fare drops to $91.

With my rudimentary spanish, the Peruvian site is letting me get to the final page and then it rejects my US visa card as it is not a "Peruvian Verified by Visa" card. Anyway around this?

It creates a locator for the trip so it is taking the reservation, unfortunately it is not taking payment :(

Thank you for your help.

Try saving the reservation, then call LAN. Please let us know the result. Gladly pay the phone ticketing fee :D

I followed advice on the TA forum and worked like a charm. Join the LAN FF club online. on the Peru site This enables you to book and hold a reservation. Then call LAN and give your cc info on the phone. With all my info-- US passport number and US address and US cc number it worked fine. I was not giving false info and the airline was aware of my non-peruvian citizenship. I was a little nervous at the airport since I had heard rumors that the tix may not be honored but I had a BP and easy checkin March 2009

Good luck
