LATAM Brazil Finally bookable on BA. How can I find Pre Econ and Business Avail?

Hey guys, been looking for a return leg from GRU to MIA/JFK in July and finally noticed wide open availability almost every day via BA.com with Avios. Unfortunately I only see Economy seats available. and no Premium Economy or Business. Any suggestion on how to search for Premium Economy or Business? How can I find availability? Via another site? Do I have to call in BA to book? Are there alternative mileage programs that I can use to book? I have a ton of Amex MR points that I can transfer to. I see lots of SCL to MIA/NYC via business but nothing from GRU. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am not so sure LATAM makes the Premium Economy cabin on short to mid haul routes available for redemption.

I suppose if it doesn't show business, then there isn't availability.
Other ways to search I've used before this appeared is via Delta, award search and make sure the carrier is LATAM. I've seen business available there.
LATAM is very confusing, lot's of availability to North America, none to Europe. Not sure if it shows correctly.

Yep. Confirmed none was available. I was able to find a handful on different dates just to see. For Europe, I was able to find via Cathey site and at not too bad prices but flew mainly out of SCL but there was some good biz class availability. Even biz class from SCL to US. It's just nothing really from Brazil.

Try using the AS site for awards/miles. Found routing to SEA via LAX and there was some via MIA.
