Best way to search for LAN award seats

I have AA miles that I want to use to redeem one award ticket on a LAN flight. I've tried multiple dates on the british airways site, AA.com site, and the LAN site and no LAN flights show up at all.

What's the best way to search for LAN award seats? thanks.

BA is your best option (to search) but some routes (domestic) will not show up in their system.
Can you tell us what route are you looking for? but my best advice, get it 330 days in advance, otherwise LA will remove those seats even if nobody got them, at least for OW Partners.

And you may need to make multiple calls as their connection to LAN for awards seems frequently to be down.

I was able to use my avios to book on LAN for September 2014, I just booked this past Monday and there were plenty of award seats (I believe 7 each day on each flight). This was LAX to LIM. For LIM to CUZ I had to call BA directly.

Yes, but that was on LP, but OP asked what was the best way to search, and BA is the best, but if you want to get your seats the day you want it, you should do it 330 days in advance. There are routes that are hard to get, like MIA-EZE-MIA, PPT-IPC-PPT or SCL-AKL

fedechat - Perhaps you can help

We were looking for the following but nothing comes up on BA. The BA call center many stated that many times they are unable to see availability.

12/1 BUE > MDZ
12/3 MDZ > SCL
12/6 SCL > EZE
