Perhaps the most complicated thing here is finding the Latam lounge when on transit ;-). The elevator is in the middle of the departure duty free and not that well signaled.
Maybe (well, probably) I'm biased to only wanting to listen to this scenario because it's what I want to hear, but this sound much more reasonable and like world standard rather than the alternative presented in the post above.
The only place I had heard of that "onward cabin dictating lounge access" for transit passengers was the Gulf carriers.
In my experience (which is limited to mainly north of the equator, granted), US, European, and Asian carriers allow lounge access based upon the entire one-way ticket's class of service, not the remaining segment.
Like I said, I hope I don't get turned away in SCL on the inbound.
