The transfer of miles to Marriott is done through Latin Pass, not through Distancia or any of the other LP partners. Therefore, miles to be transferred to Marriott should not be tranferred out of LP into Distancia. That won't work.

In similar fashion, the partnership with KLM and USA is a partnership of Latin Pass, not Distancia. So one would not transfer miles first to Distancia to use them for KLM. One would deal directly with Latin Pass in requesting KLM or USAIRWAYS tickets.

While there are certainly problems and delays with Latin Pass, this particular problem of transferring miles from Distancia and of using Distancia for KLM tickets seems to come from a missreading of Latin Pass rules and partnerships.
