the tuesday rotation LIM-GYE-LIM seems to be a 787 as well ... LA1630/1631
the strange thing with that is: only economy fare buckets are available ...

would be interesting to know how the dreamliner will be utilized for the transfer SCL-LIM - i don't think they can beam the aircraft from SCL to LIM yet and I guess they would not fly the aircraft to LIM without anything loaded - unless they use the transfer flight as training flights ...

The only flight from SCL-LIM showing 0 availability across all cabins is LA600, and we've already heard that they plan to fly the 787 on LA600 in the future, soooo...it makes some sense.

I have been trying to see the seatmap on ExpertFlyer for my 601 return to Lima. For weeks this pops up: "There was an error message from the airline when trying to retrieve this seat map: EQUIPMENT CHANGE IN PROGRESS"
So?
So?

My guess is that this plane will be used on LAN's insignia routes, which would have to be from Santiago to Europe.... or perhaps to their flights to Auckland and Sydney (if this bird has the range)...??

Question, will LAX be served as non-stop or does the flight do the usual stop in LIM...?

More weird stuff. I'm booked on 455 Nov 1st and now it shows that it's being serviced by an A320!?!?! ...!
Went to "My trips" section on lan.com and it shows two SCL-EZE flights on my locator. Funny.
Tried to check if it was a system glitch, but up to Oct 24th 455 appears as "787 dreamliner". Oct 25th onwards appears as A320....
Any similar issues you guys have experienced?
