Agreed. Has been possible for some years.

Flights to SCL have been loaded - they keep their Mon/Wed/Sat SYD-EZE schedule and maintain similar timing.


Mon 26 Mar 12 11:45 Sydney 09:55 Santiago Qantas flight QF27
13h 10m
Mon 7 May 12 13:35 Santiago 17:55 (Tue) Sydney Qantas flight QF28
14h 20m

Makes for better connections on the return from the northern half of the continent (and from MIA!) but doesn't really give good connections on arrival in SCL to anywhere other than BUE,GIG and GRU which they already had on TAM flights (with LA codes) from EZE

Well if no other reason than the unpredictable Volcano's and ash cloud-easier to fly into SCL than EZE?

Until all 744 have the J bed refit, LA has the better Business Class option for comfort.

I do like the daytime flight back - breakfast is a wasted meal IMHO. But much better when they had First and you could eat and drink yourself silly a la SYD-JNB
