LAN flights to Cuzco tend to be very expensive for non-residents but don't require many miles & they have 20 daily flights...
No extra perks (lounges etc) are offered for status-members on LAN's domestic flights. If price&onboard product are your priority instead of miles, you should compare TACA prices with LAN for LIM-CUZ flights. After all, it's only 500 mile flight to CUZ.
We want to travel directly to Cuzco because my husband will begin work at a clinic there, while my friend and I travel around locally, MP etc..then we'd like to stop in Lima for a few days on our way back to the US. I do have miles on AA (55,000) and BA (60,000) so that may be a plan for the LIM-CUZ route. Thanks
