The fact that our new connecting LIM-IQT flight leaves an hour before we arrive in LIM seems irrelevant to them. Maybe they expect a really late departure from LIM!

I am now re-booking our LIM-CUZ flight and returning IQT-LIM flight. The CUZ-LIM-IQT I will worry about later. I think the best way to handle a trip to a relaxed culture such as this is to expect nothing to be as scheduled and roll with it.

I hope your trip went well, and hopefully you'll have a look at this when you get back. How did these flights work out?

We have a trip planned in August, and have those exact flights booked - CUZ-LIM-IQT.

How did you get round it?
