Miami → Lima Business July 2026
Lima in LATAM Lie-Flat Business — from 33K Points Each Way
Miami (MIA) to Lima (LIM), Business, One Way.
Fly LATAM's lie-flat business class nonstop to Lima from as little as 33,000 points each way, plus about $55 in taxes. The same seat sells for roughly $1,370 one-way (around $2,400 round-trip), so you're squeezing close to 4 cents of value out of every point. Nonstop departures run from Miami, Atlanta and New York, with the widest availability July through August from Miami and all the way through March from Atlanta. The headline 33K rate is the floor through Cathay Asia Miles (a 33K–63K range you book by phone); the easiest option is Virgin Atlantic at 50,000 points each way — about 39,000 Chase points with the current 30% transfer bonus — and it's bookable entirely online. Japan Airlines is a third option at 42,000 miles one-way.
Easiest path — Virgin Atlantic: create a free Flying Club account (required to search), choose "Search for Reward Flights," pick One-way or Round trip, then filter the results for "Direct," "LATAM," and "Business Class." Virgin prices it at 50,000 points each way.
Transfer points to Virgin only after you confirm space — Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Rove and Wells Fargo all move 1:1 and usually post instantly. With the current 30% Chase transfer bonus, about 39,000 Chase points covers the 50K each way.
Booking from Lima one-way: Virgin's site won't sell LIM-to-US one-way awards online — call Virgin at 800-862-8621 to book the return separately.
Lower 33K rate — Cathay Pacific: open a free Cathay account, then call 833-933-2244 or use online chat (LATAM space can't be booked on Cathay's website). Ask the agent to check LATAM business award space with Asia Miles, give them the route and exact dates, and transfer only after they confirm.
Or book online with Japan Airlines: create a JAL Mileage Bank account (it must be 7+ days old before you can redeem), log in, choose "JMB Partner Airlines Award Tickets," select LATAM and Business, and search your dates. JAL prices it at 42,000 miles one-way.
