LAN Airlines Resumes Sydney - Santiago Flights

LAN Airlines today resumes daily flights between Australia and South America following the dispersal of volcanic ash cloud in New Zealand airspace.

Flight LA 800, the airline’s daily flight on the Sydney - Auckland - Santiago route, has been disrupted since early June because of the ash cloud.

Flight LA 800 departed Sydney at 9.25am today (Friday, 8 July 2011), flying via Auckland to Santiago.

Passengers seeking more information or wanting to check upcoming flights should call LAN reservations in Sydney on 1800 558 129.

For travel agents and industry partners, the LAN trade enquiry number is 1800 221 572.

The airline warns that due to the high volume of calls, some delays may be experienced.

For passengers who were booked to travel prior to 8 July, but whose travel plans were affected by the ash cloud disruption, LAN has said it will waive change fees for new reservations made up to and including 31 October 2011.
