Does anyone know if the construction being done in IPC will lead to reciprocity fees being collected in 2012? I'm looking to skip SCL and go straight to EZE to save me some money on this journey.
I think it improbable that they will collect the reciprocity fee at IPC. I think your big risk is that there will not be any Lima flights.
I did see a "master plan" for a modern terminal to be built at IPC, but I don't think that's what they're doing there now. I suppose if they spend a gazillion dollars on a new terminal (which seems insane, given that there's only a couple flights a day!), maybe they'll want to start charging reciprocity (although I think it still improbable).
