But, you might want to ask Darren-- when he says "Except when you fly on LAN, the redemption rates are all distance based. Add up the distance, look at the chart, and you're good to go."
Does that mean every flight counts towards the miles being used? (in your OP you were referring to the distance-based type awards.)
Or, do they also figure it the way AA does- which can be very advantageous (depending on routing.) I have no idea myself.
