Dear Pamela / Murray
Moving equipment together with the crew as excess baggage will be another option… This will minimise waiting times (as you clear equipment via ATA carnet or duplicate list – as already advised) straightaway so you could save money on filming days and/or rental costs… Plus its hassle-free!
You need to be careful which airlines to choose, as some still charge huge amount of money for excess baggage. S.America can be quite a grey area in terms of pricing, and you need airlines that charge per piece rather than per kg, which always works out much cheaper… Lufthansa and Swiss will get you to/from Chile/Argentina on one combined ticket and you can use Media Onboard service, which is reliable and cost-efficient way of getting eqpt there.
Any more questions – pls contact me 0870 2257 747
