Timetables and Flight Information

LaPaz to Santiago
The first possibility is the flight leaving LPB at 0805 to Lima, connecting there but not arriving SCL until 0205+1. All other listed flight combinations take 24 hours or more, so I thought I would have a go at putting together my own combination through Santa Cruz. Since Lloyd Aero Bolivia(LAB) airline ceased operation in 2007, flying around Bolivia got rather difficult. Here are the Aerosur flight combinations LPB to VVI:
111 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 07:00 07:35 35 min.
111 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 08:05 08:50 45 min.
111 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 07:00 07:35 35 min.
302 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 09:00 09:45 45 min.
111 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 07:00 07:35 35 min.
137 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 18:10 18:55 45 min.
111 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 07:00 07:35 35 min.
119 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 20:05 20:50 45 min.
300 La Paz - Santa Cruz 1 07:15 08:15 60 min.
210 La Paz - Santa Cruz 1 08:30 09:30 60 min.
125 La Paz - Santa Cruz 1 14:00 15:00 60 min.
134 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 15:05 15:40 35 min.
137 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 18:10 18:55 45 min.
134 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 15:05 15:40 35 min.
119 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 20:05 20:50 45 min.
119 La Paz - Cochabamba 1 19:00 19:35 35 min.
119 Cochabamba - Santa Cruz 2 20:05 20:50 45 min.
109 La Paz - Santa Cruz 1 19:10 20:10 60 min.
107 La Paz - Santa Cruz 1 21:00 22:00 60 min
The five nonstop 1 hour flights at 0715, 0830 1400, 1910, and 2100 would be the best choices. Since the bus service takes 16 to 25 hours between LPB and SantaCruz, it is not an option.
The next step is to combine it with the flight to SCL. Both of the first 2 nonstop flights combine well with:
LAN967 VVI IQT 1205 1725
So, it takes much of the day to get to Santiago and the plane arrives at 1725 if from either LaPaz or Santa Cruz. This dictates that the arrival day in SCL has to be Tuesday April 29(alowing a REST DAY) or Wed. April 30 to connect with LAN 801 at 2245 on 4/30.
Neobie:
Apskip, I have LA967 running from Santa Cruz to Iquique (1205 to 1355) and then to Santiago (1515 to 1725). Which set of information do you think is correct?
Dang, so is Phil only connecting through Santa Cruz on the way from La Paz to Santiago or... the other way round, running from a previous leg's finish in Santa Cruz to the next leg in La Paz?
puddin:
Gosh that would be a tough call Neobie, Phil tracking to La Paz from Santa Cruz ...especially having read the blog about the weather and all.

Neobie, I think the information I had in my post #89 at 9:49am yesterday was accurate intially on the 1-stop flight LA967 except for a minor error in identifying the stop in Iquitos Peru (IQT) when it really is as you have stated in Iquique Chile (IQQ). That flight does go from Santa Cruz to Iquique, have a 1 hour 20 minute layover, and then continue with the same flight number to Santiago, arriving at 1725 when on schedule.
However, in my post#105 I did manage to pick up the later flight arrival combination rather than the correct one, so thank you for picking that up. I correcteded post #105 as a result of your eagle eye.
Neobie:
Let's assume Phil wants to get from La Paz to the Asia/Pacific; flight-wise it makes sense - a connection through Santa Cruz is one of the best options.
Teams leave Santiago for Auckland and arrive 3.55am, Friday 1st May. There are two ways for Phil to beat them:
LA801/QF322 from Santiago to Auckland: 2245 (Tues night) to 0355 (Thr morning)
AR1182 from Buenos Aires to Auckland: 2359 (Tues night) to 0440 (Thr morning)
The thing is, there are no flights on Tuesdays from La Paz to either Santiago or Buenos Aires. Which brings us to Phil in Santa Cruz:
Option #1
LA967 from Santa Cruz to Iquique: 1205 to 1355 (Tues afternoon)
LA967 from Iquique to Santiago: 1515 to 1725 (Tues afternoon)
To catch LA801/QF322 to Auckland at 2245 (Tues night)
Option #2
5L210 from Santa Cruz to Buenos Aires: 1045 to 1430 (Tues afternoon)
To catch AR1182 to Auckland at 2359 (Tues night)
Option #3
AR1363 from Santa Cruz to Buenos Aires: 1410 to 1810 (Tues afternoon)
To catch AR1182 to Auckland at 2359 (Tues night)
BUT could Phil leave La Paz in time to catch even the latest combination, leaving Santa Cruz at 1410? Looking at apskip's Aerosur flights, he would have to leave La Paz at 8.30am - way too early to do anything with the teams running around La Paz on Tuesday. LAN and TACA turn up nothing either.
Conclusion? Phil is probably racing to La Paz with the teams; which makes Santa Cruz the previous leg?
