That makes sense - it really highlights the devaluation - difference from WTP to CW on a peak rerturn is 100,000!

That does seem high, given it's significantly higher than either LHR-MAD-SCL or LHR-EZE-SCL?

There is well priced BA I fare at £1393(base) for SVG-LHR-SCL r/t, which can be upped using GUF to enjoy 15 hours in F both ways...

Have you been able to price it up though? Neither the booking engine or the calculator work for me.

The bands aren't actually strictly defined for BA flights. e.g. CPT is beyond its band. So it could yet be priced like SIN.

I wouldn't complain too loudly, they'll increase SYD before they decrease SCL!

Great new route news

It's only been announced an hour ago!

Usually takes a few days for all the fare buckets to be loaded for a route. Be patient.

No. I had a go when I was trying to work out the price and got the same as you, so error.

I like your optimism

The reward availability is already there, it's just it won't price up.

Shhhhh, don't mention SVG you'll wake up CWS

This is indeed an interesting new route. My mother-in-law has been down that way and thoroughly enjoyed it. Might be something we would consider.

They have decided to call it band 6 for the time being; but it may become band 7!

Nice in the premium classes, I fear a flight that long in the WT sardine can.

I think it shows the long, thin(ner) route possibilities of the 787 very well. I always thought that I wouldn't see SCL-LHR because it would be uneconomic (in fuel and lack-of-cargo load) even if it's possible.

Does anyone know the cargo revenue possibilities on this route? High, low, ?
