Opodo offering very cheap LATAM flights on LIM-CUZ?
Hi,
We're looking at flights through Opodo and it seems they are selling very cheap flights on that route.
My guess would be that they book the cheap residents-only fare - but they don't disclose it anywhere? How likely are we to get away with that?
Thanks!

I've read that flights to/from Cuzco (especially in the afternoon) are more subject to cancellation that most other destinations, though that statement wasn't LATAM-specific, and it wasn't clear if it was year-round either.
So on this route, and perhaps depending on the timing specifics, you may want to consider whether cheapest is the best, or if instead the fare that will give you the best rebooking options is better.
I was pleasantly surprised that the round trip fare on this route was capped at $300ish USD on the LATAM site, for the most flexible fare possible. In the US, you don't often find round-trip fares capped that low.
