Full Flight: Sky Airline Peru: Lima-Cusco

In this video, I try out a small Peruvian airline called Sky Airline Peru. However, my experience for this particular flight was not great. Apparently, a gate agent came up to me when I was about to board my flight and asked me weird questions. First she asked me if I was going on this specific flight number, and then, she asked if I was going to Cusco, which was redundant as this specific flight number was going there anyways. Then, she asked me to place my bag in a test bin to see if it would fit in the overhead bin. While my bag would have fit fine in the overhead bin as it fit perfectly fine in the Sky Airline Peru Airbus A320neo flight I took back to Lima, unfortunately, since, it could not fit in the test-bin, so the gate agent said I would have to pay 40 US dollars (not 40 Peruvian sols unfortunately) as a fee to check my bag in despite my ticket includes a carryon bag. Then, she told me whether I had computers inside the bag. I told her I had two, and then, she asked me if I had laptops. I just answered her question the first time. A laptop is obviously a type of computer, so asking if I had laptops after asking if I had a computer is also redundant, unless she was referring to a computer as a desktop, which obviously would not fit in a carryon that can fit inside an overhead bin. However, the conversation was in Spanish, and I was able to maintain a two-way communication with her fine, even though she was talking a bit fast, and I felt stressed to speak Spanish perfectly, but in Spanish, people say "computadora" for computer, which can mean a computer of any type, and that includes laptops too, though laptops are "computadoras portables" in Spanish, which also has the Spanish word for computer, though she said "laptop" as the one English word in her Spanish sentences. Anyways, after asking if I had laptops, she went back to computers, and then to laptops again, and it was a weird cycle. At least, she was nice enough to ask if I had laptops or computers inside to take out. Then, when I asked her why she charged me 40 bucks even though I had a bag, she went on a long lecture. This is the one Spanish I was not able to understand that well as she spoke really fast and I was too stressed to follow. She asked me if it was okay with me to pay 40 bucks as if I had a choice. Very unnecessary to ask that cause who would be okay paying such a hefty fee, especially when most airlines do not even charge you to check in a bag if you are forced to. Only other airline I had been on that would charge you upfront if you are forced to check your bag in would be Jetstar, but with them, despite my bags were slightly overweight for one of my flights, the gate agent was nice enough to waive the fee, though for the other flights, they never checked. After taking my two laptops out, she then asked me to give her my passport just to check this bag in. Considering this was a domestic flight, and obviously, locals in Peru may not bring passports, especially if many of them do not even have one, it seems weird that she was writing stuff from my passport onto a check in slip just to check my bag in. I had checked my bag in only a couple of times for flights, but never was I asked to give an airline employee my passport just to check my bag in. Avianca did not do this, though with them, I did not have to pay to check my bag in despite it was forced. LATAM Peru and Jetsmart were the only other two airlines that would fly to Cusco from Lima. LATAM Peru is not a low-cost airliner, so I could have avoided this stressful financial situation if I had flown with them as I did not have this issue with them on my flight from Bogota to Lima, and my bag fit in perfectly fine there on its Airbus A320. Jetsmart Peru is a low-cost airliner too, so unsure if this would had happened. However, this was my first time flying with an international low-cost airliner that is based outside the United States as all the foreign airlines I flew on were major airlines. Anyways, this just shows some airline employees like to abuse their authority. Now, on to the flight. After going through the stressful moment of wasting 40 bucks just to be able to bring my bag onto the flight, we took a bus to our airplane, and we climbed the stairs to board my seat. We pushback and then taxi to Runway 16L. We then takeoff towards the south and make a left turn to head east into the Andes. We cruise, and after that, we begin our descend, and then our approach with wonderful views of the Andes mountains. We lower the landing gear early due to the high terrain, and since the runway is around 11,000 feet above sea level, our groundspeed is a lot faster than it would be at the altitude the landing gear is lowered when landing on a runway elevated at sea level. We then make a bunch of turns to avoid crashing into the mountains, and then we make a landing on Runway 28.
