Miami → Santiago & Buenos Aires Business Dec 2026 (LATAM Award Sale)
Miami to Chile & Argentina in LATAM Lie-Flat Business from 59K Points
Miami (MIA) to Santiago (SCL), Business, One Way.
LATAM's newest business class, nonstop from Miami to Santiago and Buenos Aires, from 59K transferable points each way instead of $2,468. Santiago has rare Christmas-week space plus a wide-open March-July run; Buenos Aires is best through November. Four programs can book it — JAL is cheapest at 60K straight miles, Finnair is 76K but drops to roughly 59K Amex MR with a 30% transfer bonus.
Search award space on Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club site — a free account is required, and it's the only easy way to see LATAM inventory.
Filter results for "Direct," "LATAM," and "Business Class" on your exact dates.
You're looking for 60K JAL miles, 63K Cathay, or 76K Finnair Avios one-way — Virgin's own 95K price is the worst of the four.
To hit 59K, transfer Amex MR to British Airways during a 30% bonus, convert those Avios to Finnair, then call a Finnair agent to ticket.
Finnair and Cathay cannot be booked online — call Finnair at 929-474-6049 or Cathay at 833-933-2244.
Transfer points only after an agent confirms the space is live; ask them to hold the line while the miles land.
