In the late 80s I flew from Santiago, Chile to Antofagasta on a quite nice LAN Chile 737. There were about 10 passengers. One of the best flights I've ever been on. I'm not sure what the need was to the government to keep that flight going or if it's still like that.
- privong 11y agoNowadays a lot of those flights between Santiago and Antofagasta stop in La Serena. When I was on it a few months ago, the flight was full both ways. I assume that flight is important for mining operations, and nowadays for tourism.
- chiph 11y agoIt may be that the plane needed to be in Antofagasta because the return flight was full(er). So a partial ferry flight. I had a flight like that in the late 90's to Minneapolis. The flight crew wouldn't let the few of us sit in the 1st class section. :(
