Relevant data point: I called the US number (800-452-1201) this morning and booked a one-way LATAM flight from GYE-LIM. While the (very friendly) agent was booking the second flight, the call disconnected. I called again and talked to a total jerk (straight off the bat) who told me that as of last August they can't book LATAM. I told him I had just done so earlier this morning and he said "that flight will probably be canceled."
Given that I'd have to transfer about 80k UR points to Avios to book the next flight (a LIM-GIG round trip) and don't want 104k Avios if that one does get canceled, I think I'm going to wait a couple of weeks to see if BA or LATAM cancel the booking. I'll update here if they do.
