🎫 Iberia ticket · ✈️ Boliviana de Aviación metal
Booked as Iberia codeshare (flight numbers IB 7790 outbound / IB 7791 return), operated by Boliviana de Aviación (OB 777 / OB 776) on an A330-200 widebody. Same aircraft, same direct route — the Iberia label is just the ticket distribution channel. BoA’s own A330 service profile applies: 2-4-2 cabin layout, 79 cm pitch, dinner service, seatback on-demand video, power + USB outlets at every seat. Bag allowance follows the Iberia Standard Economy rules on this codeshare (1 × 23 kg checked + 10 kg cabin), not BoA’s usual 2 × 23 kg allowance.
Santa Cruz is not the Andean, high-altitude Bolivia of the postcards — it sits in the hot tropical lowlands east of the mountains, and it's the country's fastest-growing business hub rather than a colonial-era set piece. The city is built as concentric ring roads called *anillos*, so locals navigate by which ring you're on; the first ring circles Plaza 24 de Septiembre, the leafy heart where everything starts. This is cattle country, so eat *churrasco* — proper grilled beef — and try *chicha*, the fermented corn drink. Come in the dry season, May to September, for warm days and less rain. Watch for *surazos*, cold winds off the Argentine pampas that can drop the temperature sharply overnight. Avoid December–January, the hottest and wettest stretch.
