Peruvian Airlines- Good Price but poor Reliablity.
"Peru's Transport Ministry suspended all flights by local carrier Peruvian Airlines after it failed to meet safety standards, daily El Comercio reported, citing a statement from the ministry.
The airline, the second-largest carrier in Peru after Lan Airlines SA (LAN) , has reported engine problems on two flights this year, according to the Lima-based newspaper.
Peruvian Airlines, which started operating in 2009 with a fleet of five Boeing 737-200 and 737-300 jets, held a 16 percent market share, El Comercio said. It's the third Peruvian airline to be shut down in eight years, the newspaper said."
As as luck would have it I was on one of those flights.
I was flying to Talara via Puira.
With a few chicas and a mate for a dirty weekend. Well 4 days.
The plane landed in Puira and we were informed that the plane had engine problems and we should all disembark.
Well after a 9 delay at Puira Airport we ended up catching the afternoon flight to Talara.
Our 4 day sex vacation was also cut by 1/2 day with no compensation.
The other guy just happened to be a pilot and plane entusiast.
He believed the plane was at least 24 yrs old. So not surprising the failure.
Still the airfare was $USD100 compared to Lans $240 per person and when there were in this case 6 of us flying, the difference soon adds up.
Just goes to show you usually get what you pay for?

Can anyone shed light about craps at the Casino Fortuna in Lince?
Is it a soles casino? What are minimum bets?
The one thing I love about gambling in Lima is that it is like Las Vegas for the low bettor. It is so quiet you can play 1 on 1 blackjack with the dealer on a $2 or S / 5 table, or a roulette table by your self or shared by one other. And be offered food and drinks to keep staying.

Address is Schell 280, unit 101. There is a little Claro booth out front. The owner speaks good english and is very helpful. He will test the SIM chip to make sure his service unlocked the phone before you pay the $40 soles.
There are actually two small Claro shops on that block that I assume sell SIM chips. A full service Claro shop is located at 882 Larco at the corner of 28 de Julio. Check the Claro Peru website for a full service shop near you.
As of 8/12/11 there are no problems with purchasing SIM chips or cel phones as rumoured. All that is required is your passport.
