I think the place to search is Delta.com, as I said above. At least this is the only place I've found that seems to work.

Can confirm that LATAM flights are bookable via phone. Took me 3 agents to get it done & availability is on par with what is showing on delta.com.
2 of the agents had no idea about booking the flights and they were insisting that it is not possible with LATAM anymore so it depends on who you get on the line... Well worth it though - saved me about 350€ on my flights to the Galapagos.

Yes, it is the Delta One column, but marked as Business(U) for LATAM flights. For delta flights it is First Delta One.
Still haven't learned to make screenshots on the Mac, but if you check MIA-GRU for Dec 26 there are seats available in Economy and Business right now.

No, i don't.
Select shop with miles and get the grid (week). Select the date and Continue and will see what I pasted.
In Advanced search you can select Delta One and get only business on the grid.

nikolask : What did the third agent different from the two other ones? Did you talk to the German or UK callcenter?

Those are really interesting data points. Thanks a lot for sharing!

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.
