| | LATAM To Brazil Or Chile, Up To 9 Seats | Since Alaska Airlines ended its partnership with LATAM a couple of months ago, I figured I should flag some other ways to book LATAM business class, especially since Virgin has a couple of great transfer bonuses from Amex and Chase. | If you book LATAM out of Mexico, you could even include a visit to Cancun or Mexico City on your way! From São Paulo, it’s also an easy hop to Rio de Janeiro. | Now, let’s get into it! | Let me know if you book! |

| | Flight Experience | LATAM operates a Boeing 787-9 on this route with the updated business class cabin. The cabin has a staggered 1-2-1 layout which means all seats are lie-flat and have direct aisle access. This layout provides more privacy than the older 2-2-2 layout. Either way, the catering and crew both get solid marks. | It’s always a good idea to check the cabin layout before booking just in case. | | How To Search | Search with Virgin Atlantic: | Select one-way or round-trip Select Upper Class Select Pay with points Select Flying From and Flying To cities Select date(s) Select number of passengers Run search
| Virgin Atlantic Flying Club will put award space on hold for up to 24 hours, but you'll need to call to do so (800-862-8621). | Call to book: | | Make sure you confirm availability with the program you want to use to book before you transfer points. | Happy booking! |
