Dumbo questions here, sorry - is LA LAN (the south american airline)?
What is YQ?
This AS looks like a reasonable option, even if I don't get the one leg (I *think* it also has an AA number, so might qualify under that, I don't have it to hand right now). It looks like the same thing (operated and ticketed) would apply on LAN too.
Looking at LAN, in terms of redemption, do I have this straight - my trip, according to a distance calculator should earn 32,586 is all legs are allowed (30,642 ex the YYZ-DFW). I could then redeem those for a flight based on distance (so YYZ- New York would be 554km, thus 8000km each way in terms of points used?) Plus taxes etc.?
Sorry, I have, in my life, redeemed on one airline and one airline only!
