This route runs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Santiago (SCL). LATAM carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 787-8 shows up on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 2% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
Booking Los Angeles–Santiago with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on LATAM at a higher price. The economy floor adds about $24 in taxes and fees, below the route's typical economy taxes. Stepping up costs about 1.5 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.2 times for business. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 27,500 points and premium economy at 40,000. Avianca LifeMiles is cheapest in business class at 60,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 60,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. The other six programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, Qantas Frequent Flyer, and Air France-KLM Flying Blue. The economy and premium economy floors are partner awards: one airline's miles on another airline's flights.
On points, the Los Angeles–Santiago nonstop belongs to LATAM alone in the data. Before transferring points, check which airline operates each leg of the Los Angeles–Santiago award.
