Its a great find, however, because the routing is very attractive for travel. Stopover costs can be fairly reasonable if you schedule it right, as well.
ITA shows mostly S, N fares, with some routing via LIM showing X on the SCL-MAD sector. and only X, U and A earn 50% with AS, so maybe this is actually a good deal? where are you seeing all X, U or A fares?
