LAN are more expensive as they reserve their cheapest prices for residents
(and you will be asked to produce proof of residency at check-in so don't be
tempted to try it anyway). You could look at Star Peru
[link] if price is your main criteria. I can't comment on
them personally but have heard others say they provide a good service.

Thanks for that- interesting!
The train from Cuzco (Poroy) wouldn't get in until 10.51, so our plan is
to spend the night in Aguas Calientes and go up first thing in the
morning. We may visit on the day of arrival too...

Fun approach to Cuzco. I did it back in 1979 in an Aeroperu 727 (or at
least that's what it said on the outside; the inside was pure Lufthansa down
to the emergency card in the seat pocket). Anyway, the city (and airport)
are in a valley so you come over the edge and descend; not only that but

Many thanks Jeff- very helpful. It seems that in April LAN has a very
busy schedule, with hourly flights throughout the day, but TACA have
only a couple. We're not too bothered by the early start. It was a bit
alarming to have expedia.co.uk initially quote £300 for a return flight,
given our flights from MAN to LIM (via AMS) were around £600...

\\TACA Group and LAN are both more reliable than most of the previous
Peruvian carriers, and either one will be flying modern equipment, so I
don't think there is going to be one reason to choose one over the other on
that basis. And my experience in Peru is not the weather out of Cuzco - it
is not usually bad; the problem is equipment issues, and to/from Cuzco,

I'm glad someone else thinks that, too. As I read the story it became
apparent that (while certainly not blameless) this was turning into
another "let's bash Ryanair for everything that goes wrong" piece.
ISTM the family didn't exactly help the preparation: having an 88 y.o.
flying alone, without any means of contacting them, either.

I'm researching flights from Lima to Cuzco in April, and TACA have fares
around 50% of what LAN are offering. (Expedia in UK is hiking up LAN's
own prices extortionately but that's another story.) Any opinions on
TACA's reliability? I'm figuring the early morning flights will be best
on both outward and return to increase chances of escaping inclement
