Which seems awfully confusing from an end user standpoint. After all the planes don't say LAN PERU, or LAN xxx...they just say LAN...unless I missed something.

I flew LAN Peru in 2010 and had no problems with miles...so same thought process.

It's no big deal.. it would have just been more miles to donate. Miles are becoming irrelevant to me.....just redeemed the last of my miles on AA & Continental for two intl trips next year. Done with the mileage game.
