Status update- couldn't do that road trip from USH to Punta Arenas as no one would rent us a car one way to Chile. Standing in the Aerolineas office in USH and our travel agents called with the offer of flights USH-EZE-SCL-PUQ,but we had to be at USH in 30mins! Mad dash back to hotel to collect bags,stopping to buy waterproof boots on the way,we both ended up with boots 3 sizes too big as that was all they had!
So we arrived back in EZE after a first trip on an A340, and today will be traveling EZE-SCL-PUQ.Exhausted just thinking about it- flights of almost 3000 miles just to travel less than 400! Better half even tried to rent an aircraft to fly ourselves up to PUQ,but that had to go in the "too difficult" box...
Hiddy- ever been to SCL? We. Only have 2 hours transfer there...baggage worries?
Stay tuned for further updates...
