Brisbane airport ... assured us our bags would be checked right through to Cusco. Zac assured us differently and he was right. Collect bags in Lima where they have Customs checks.
Flight to Santiago - LONG haul. Hit some turbulance mid-flight, and although not serious it went on long enough to tip me over the edge. Lex is not travelling so well - he has a 'cold' Didn't wear my face mask - may have drawn more attention. Only place we have seen lots of masks (all airport staff) is in Peru.
Santiago airport is very comfy - spent a few hours there easily, and managed to get wifi connection early, but unable to repeat it later. Some fluke. Santiago sleeping quarters....

Lima. All airport experience up to this point were easy as we weren't entering those countries. On the plane to Lima we had to fill out the Tourist Card as well as N1H1 Flu form. Coming through the airport just after midnight ... line up for Immigration checks ... collect luggage ... more forms ... Customs checkpoint - Red or Green. Too easy, we got green. Picked up some Duty Free - even at this hour and then onto the Departure area - Automatic checkin followed by Baggage Checkin. Amazing. Almost everything is still open!! We've managed to change some money, get a coffee, pay our Entry Free and get into the Departure Lounges where there's power points, free wifi, seats without arm rests 9so necessary to be able to stretch out) and food and shops all open. Top it off with being quite warm - coats not needed, which makes the (albeit small) sleeping bags we have lugged around in our carry on luggage quite unnecessary! Pity I'm not tired.... yet!
