Delta One To South America, Up To 8 Seats

Delta doesn’t release much business class award space to partners, so I figured this was a good one to flag since you can book up to eight people to Lima or Santiago.


Please note that delta operates a different cabin on these flights than you’ll find on other routes as the aircraft they use were acquired from LATAM.

Now, let’s get into it!

Flight Experience


Delta operates an A350-900 on these routes with a 2-2-2 business class layout. This is not Delta One Suites. Seats will be lie-flat, but you’ll want a middle section seat if you want direct aisle access without your seatmate crawling over you.

Best Ways To Book


Flying Blue: Best Rate, Easy To Earn


Flying Blue has a big advantage over Virgin Atlantic Flying Club on the Lima route and a small advantage on the Santiago route. Either way, Flying Blue is the way to go given how easy it is to earn the miles you need via transferable points.
