Isn't that a brilliant flight (to MPN)! I did it on QF points when the rules were based on continents rather than the current system. It took a lot of arguing with the QF phone agents trying to explain that SCL-MPN was within South America rather than a Sth America - UK flight (the operator assumed that MPN was part of Europe - specifically Britain due to ownership).
