So as we start to look at overseas travel again, options between Australia and South America are barely existent compared to where we left off before covid.
-Qantas SCL-SYD direct (QF27/28) not scheduled
-LATAM no longer in oneworld
-LATAM SCL-MEL direct not scheduled
-LATAM SCL-SYD still via AKL
-LATAM QF codeshare doesn't seem bookable via QF website - but is listed on EF
-AKL restricts transit pax to a small area - no airline lounges, restaurants, showers etc. Not great on the return flight.
With all that said, Chile has a vaccination rate of 73% double jabbed (entire population - so well above 90% 16+), and only getting less than 300 daily cases despite a population similar to Australia (around 19 million). Surely a perfect bubble candidate.
Is this an oversight of Qantas?
Perhaps LATAM can fly SCL-SYD direct?
