As to the bolded, that's super true. That's why I flew AA even out of Houston because UA was being really tight with saver availability on the direct IAH-LIM flight (as in it seemed to not exist for when I planned to go).
Curious to see your thoughts on the Hiram Bingham train. I didn't book that because, well, it was 4x the cost but it looked nice through the windows as it was parked on the adjacent track when we were leaving Machu Picchu.
When were you there? I was there 2-3 weeks ago and wrote it up here.
