I'll be arriving in Lima on LanPeru but leaving on American on an award ticket. Anyone know if the airpasses are valid with award itineraries? Also looks like the Visit Chile airpass is good to Easter Island, which it hasn't been previously.
The Visit Chile pass states "If flying any other airline in/out of South America: Not applicable"
You are out of luck on that one as departing on AA.
You are able to purchase any of the oneworld Visit passes even if on an award ticket. The basic requirements are as stipulated above in another post.
"TRAVEL ON THE LAST INTERNATIONAL SECTOR IN TO SOUTH AMERICA AND
THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SECTOR FROM SOUTH AMERICA MUST BE
OPERATED or marketed BY A ONEWORLD CARRIER"
Eligibility
Only available to residents of the country of sale in conjunction with RT travel to South America, as defined above, on scheduled services. Proof of residence may be required at time of purchase or at check-in.
