San Francisco Becomes Fourth U.S. Gateway for LAN Airlines

LAN Peru, an affiliate of LAN Airlines, will offer 4 flights per week to Lima, Peru out of San Francisco. Flights will begin July 1 of this year, flying on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

LAN Peru’s new service from San Francisco to Lima offers passengers connecting service to multiple destinations in the region including Sao Paulo, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Santiago, Chile.

San Francisco will become LAN Airlines and its affiliates’ fourth US gateway, in addition to New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.

The new route will continue to support the growth of tourism to the region, considering that it will be the only nonstop flight connecting San Francisco with South America, offering passengers more options for travel to unique destinations like Machu Picchu and Patagonia, as well as Easter Island and Iguazu Falls.

The company will service this route on modern Boeing 767-300s with long-haul reach and a capacity for 221 passengers. These aircraft offer LAN’s Premium Business cabin that includes full flat, 180-degree reclining seats with a completely horizontal sleeping option that only a select group of airlines in the world offer, in addition to a renovated Economy class. In both classes of services, passengers have access to a modern entertainment system that offers one of the most diverse audio and video on-demand programming in the world.
