Had a great view of the Chilean countryside below me as we approached Santiago.
Touch down at 2.05 pm (14:05) local time and my next flight leaves at 3 pm (15:00).
Trip time was 11 hours 50 minutes. Thank goodness that I had my boarding pass and seat 5A. MMMmmm security again so empty water bottle and with a long queue ahead, along with other fellow travellers it was a queue jump time to get to the distant gate 10 and my flight to Lima. I wasn't the last one to board but it was close.
After the short transit in KL, Malaysia earlier this year when my checked in bag did not join me on the next flight, I wonder if my bag will make it as well onto LA 642?
Did we leave at 3 pm (15:00)? No. Pulled back at 3 pm, soon after took off and followed the Chilean coastline north to Lima. Most of the flight was over the Pacific. Note to one self - I should have asked for a right hand window seat to see the Andes. So on my way back ask for a left hand seat.
Queue jumping = mad rush to connect to Lima
