SCL to CUZ is one or two sectors
Hi guys.
I wonder if you can help me out. I wish to fly from SCL to CUZ, I understand the only way to do this is via a short stop over in LIM. Is this considered to be one or two sectors. The oneworld timetable program counts it as 2 sectors. So what constitutes a stop over? I thought the 24 hour rule was the only definition of a stop over. Both flights are operated by Lan Peru.
Any ideas?

It is also irrelevant if the airline is the same or not.
In your specific case, it is correct that you must connect in LIM. Also you should check your connection time. I booked this specific routing yesterday and assumed that 60 minutes would be enough time but Lan required 90 minutes and so it means waiting around LIM airport for an extra 4 hours to get the next plane out to CUZ. In addition, they weren't even sure if you could check the luggage all the way through. Does anyone know if you have to pick up your luggage in LIM and check it in again for CUZ.

Re the extended transit, why not head into the city for a couple of hours?
