Do you have guidance on crediting miles for an upcoming reservation on a LATAM flight operated by Qatar Airways? I’m considering where to credit the miles – I was initially thinking of Delta SkyMiles, but it seems that might only apply to flights operated by LATAM and Delta directly. For Qatar Airways, it appears Avios are the main option. Additionally, LATAM’s Pass system for accumulating miles is based on the flight cost minus taxes, which varies by status and flight type (international vs. domestic within South America). This trip includes both intercontinental and South American flights. How does LATAM determine which multiplier applies to each leg of the journey? Has anyone successfully credited such miles to other airlines like Lufthansa or Alaska? I currently hold One World Emerald, Star Alliance Gold, LATAM Plus Platinum, and SkyTeam/Virgin Atlantic Gold status. The flight segments are Cairo to Doha and Doha to Sao Paulo in business class (Z fare), and Sao Paulo to Montevideo in economy (W fare). I’m seeking the best strategy for crediting these miles given my various memberships and the flight details.
