LATAM Is Canceling Washington Flights After Less Than Two Years

January 17, 2018 by lucky 17

Well that sure didn’t last long. As of May 2, 2016, LATAM Peru began flying 3x weekly between Lima and Washington Dulles. This represented their fifth US destination, after Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Orlando, and like their other US routes, it’s flown with a Boeing 767-300.

Usually when an airline launches a new route it at least sticks around for a few years as they try to grow the market, but I guess the route must not be doing well for LATAM at all, and they’re ready to cut their losses.

LATAM is discontinuing their flights between Lima and Washington Dulles as of March 1, 2018. While the flight still shows in the schedule (as of now), they’re zeroed out the inventory, and presumably it will be fully removed shortly.

For what it’s worth, the flight has operated with the following schedule:

LA2480 Lima to Washington Dulles departing 12:30PM arriving 8:15PM
LA2481 Washington Dulles to Lima departing 10:05PM arriving 5:30AM (+1 day)

I guess it’s not terribly surprising to see LATAM cut this route. While you’d think the US capital could sustain a flight like this, Washington Dulles isn’t a oneworld hub, so they were relying almost entirely on traffic originating and terminating there. They must have been doing pretty poorly if they couldn’t even get a 3x weekly flight to work.

While LATAM Peru hasn’t announced any expansion to the US, LATAM Brazil has announced two new routes recently, from Sao Paulo to Boston and Las Vegas. I’d love to see LATAM Peru announce some new US routes as well.

Are you surprised to see that LATAM Peru couldn’t make their Washington Dulles route work?

Well this is quite a video. TMZ has the footage of Buzz Aldrin missing his flight at LAX this morning: It's not entirely clear what happened, but at 9:20AM he's still at the check-in counter for his 9:25AM flight. When he's told that he'll be rebooked…

In early 2017, American Airlines bought a $200 million stake in Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines. On some level this was surprising, given that prior to this the two airlines didn't cooperate in any way. They had no codeshare agreements, and American…

While I have top tier status with American AAdvantage, I've been looking for a way to earn either oneworld Sapphire or Emerald status with another oneworld airline. I explained the reason for this in a post last September. American has recently opened…

We arrived in Santiago at 9:40PM, while our connecting flight was at 11:40PM, so we had a decent connection time. However, the transit process ended up taking longer than expected. I found the signage in the airport to be bad, and as we made our way…

Our flight from Easter Island to Santiago was departing at 2:55PM, and the hotel dropped us off at the airport at 12:40PM, which seemed awfully early. To enter the terminal you had to put your bag through an x-ray, though the person manning the belt…

While our flight from Mexico City to Santiago was operated by a Boeing 787-8, this flight was operated by the slightly larger 787-9. Both planes have 30 business class seats, though the layouts are different, which is due to the location of the second…

I was excited to experience LATAM's business class on a longer flight, given that previously I had only flown a LATAM 787 between Madrid and Frankfurt, which is too short of a flight to really experience the service. We boarded through door L2, where…

While we also visited Mexico City on this trip, that happened on our way back, meaning that we connected same day from the US to start our journey to Easter Island. You'll want to leave plenty of time for any international connection in Mexico City,…

My connection in Frankfurt was nearly 2.5 hours. Air India departs from the B Concourse, so it was about a 15 minute walk from my arrival gate. The flight was leaving from gate B44, and at the gate they were doing document checks. Every passenger had…

My connection in Zurich was just over two hours. I was arriving in the E Concourse and departing from the A Concourse, which was a surprisingly long journey. I know Zurich Airport is spread out, but my gosh, the transit took a long time. First I had…

I checked in online for my flight to Zurich, so headed straight towards International Terminal G when I got to SFO. Security at SFO can be bad, though fortunately they have CLEAR, which probably saved me 20 minutes. I briefly visited the United Lounge…

Welcome to my next trip report, covering travel in Swiss' business class, Air India's business class, Emirates' brand new first class, and TAP Air Portugal's business class. This was a trip I took exclusively to be able to review some new airline products.…

Chase has brought back a similar promotion to what they offered last November, which has the potential to be lucrative. Specifically, those with the Chase Freedom can earn up to 10x points for purchases at Best Buy through February 4, 2018. This promotion…
