Interested to see if award inventory will be accessible on this route. This just may be the impetus for me to splurge on a Brazilian visa.
Just wait for the new year when the simpler procedure kicks in. It will still cost you $160, but you won't have to endure the many hours I spent figuring out their glitchy visa web form and visiting the Brazilian consulate.
My hunch is that it will be easier to get seats on this flight than out of NYC, but we'll see. LATAM award inventory is a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
If you're looking for premium class space, logic would certainly suggest more expense-account biz travellers and ultra wealthy leisure travellers in NYC than in BOS (not that BOS is bereft of this class, but they should be fewer in number).
