LATAM Adds Nonstop Frankfurt Flight, Cuts Fifth Freedom Flight

LAN ADD ON . . . . NOT cutting A N Y flights between SCL-FRA!! just adding ON flights! LAN actually has (as of summer 2020) then all in all 16 flights a week between SCL-FRA, 3xweekly NONSTOP LA708/9, 6xweekly 5th Freedom Flight LA704/5 via MAD, LA8070/1 (777-300/350-900) daily GRU-FRA with different feeders from SCL-GRU.

@Lucky . . . . .LATAM is discontinuing one of my favorite intra-Europe fifth freedom flights, and is replacing it with another service. NOT TRUE!!!!! BOTH flights LA709 NONSTOP 3x weekly AND LA705 6xweekly will be operating! LA 709 357 FRA SCL 1925 0640+1 0 25OCT20 - 28FEB21 AC=788 traveltime15:15 LA 705 X2 FRA SCL 1925 0940+1 1 13NOV20 - 30NOV20 AC=789 traveltime18:15 same in opposite direction! AMADEUS TIMETABLE - TN ** FRA FRANKFURT.DE 15NOV20 22NOV20 LA 708 246 SCL FRA 2320 1740+1 0 24OCT20 - 27FEB21 788 14:20 NONSTOP LA 704 X1 SCL FRA 1955 1740+1 1 25OCT20 - 04FEB21 789 17:45 via MAD So i guess . . . it WILL very well be worth the add. NONSTOP flight 3x a week! And YES, LAN will be flying in/out of Terminal 1 in FRA!

@Gn ..... that's NO LH flight as those connect in EZE, LH has no own flights to SCL! @Hans ..... LH did fly to SCL in the 90's, but NOT Nonstop, that was direct flights, in combo with EZE or GIG. Lucky was talking of NONSTOP flights, "sufficient demand" ;-) To that .... i think it will ge, all the cattle farm owners from South America as well as the former NAZI an GDR people who reside in Chile and surrounding countries in South America . . they will fill those 3x weekly open seats, that Business people win't fill. It will work, i guess! We'll wait and see, what DL has to come up with in the future on that airline too. Maybe CDG, AMS, FCO ... who knows? @Lucky ..... thank god for still some (few) REAL Business Class flights within Europe on TK and there A330 or sometimes 777. To me, i still don't understand how somebody could from there on will, book LH, LX, OS, BA, IB or any other lousy 5* airline within Europe if you could get TK with REAL Business Class, of course LA was more modern, but 1 flight a day only. No wonder TK is the ONLY STAR Airline that is NOT in T2 with LH, LH should be scared to death by that Airline! Rather stupid EY is at home at T2 in Munich with 2 flights a day (NOT being with STAR) !!! Just 1 example how corrupt that LH Group is? I think, LH had it ALL calculated after AB (airberlin) was wiped out and EY was available to team up with them as a Codeshare! .... did we speak of corrupt? Just mention LH Group! Recent action within the Group show the next stage of how that Airline works! 5* rating for non existing things yet, Hire & Fire like ME Carriers under German Laws :-o , influencing the states and governments all over, to get there target done. = LH Group! Avoid them wherever possible! Read into them, a book called "Die Millionen Dollar Crew, Stephan Lewerenz" it will blow your mind! https://www.amazon.de/Die-Millionen-Dollar-Crew-Enthüllungsroman-über-Fluggesellschaft/dp/3891361114?language=en_GB LH went to court, to take it off the market! Still available on amazon! You won't believe corruption still happens ..... it does! Back to the LA flight, THAT'S why that nonstop SCL-FRA might be a clever move, as those rich caddle farmers are mostly from German decent. I might even think, the frequency will go up soon! .... and with the options of connecting traffic via FRA on LH and still connect with Middle East, Asia, Africa and of course entire Europe with the LA flight times to/from FRA, that was a clever move by LA!

Lufthansa offers a flight from Frankfurt https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/flights/city/santiago

Please correct me but I think many years ago LH had already a flight FRA to SCL.
