LAN isn't very shy about changing their schedule at the moment's notice when they feel like it.
The current schedule seems to be once a day SCL-IPC, except 2 flights on Mon and 0 on Tue. LIM-IPC is one each on Sun and Wed, leaving around 2am and getting to IPC early morning. But there are often extra flights announced, at odd hours. Over the years, the number of flights has gone up and down. Last year LAN announced direct flights from GRU to IPC, but they havent materialized yet. For those unfamiliar with LAN, service in the air is usually excellent; service on the ground can often be chaotic and unhelpful.
