Miami thru Lima and Santiago to Auckland was 33 hours in economy on LAN. Could be booked online with avios. I forgot to check American. And I forgot about MCO.

388,000 avios for two. $2000 in taxes etc. Booked this flights but....

I still have 23 hours to change things.

And hope to upgrade to CW on outgoing flight.

Should I keep or change?
I would check to see if MCO-SCL is operating when you want to travel, or if there is space on AA's MIA-SCL nonstop. You'd save a small fortune on surcharges if you can get either one of those options.

On the other hand, being stuck in Y for SCL-AKL would not be much fun.
