Converting LatinPass miles
Can I convert LatinPass miles at a 1:1 conversion rate to US Airways and/or TWA? Thanks in advance.

No - but you can use them for awards on these airlines - bookable through LP. They can be transferred through HHonors and you're get about 40% of the miles back.

Miles can only be moved to member airline programs, not partner airline programs. So if you want to transfer miles to TWA, USAirways, KLM, or National -- forget about it.

Thank you for the correction. I did not realize they could be shifted between the programs.

As per LATINPASS guide, you can transfer LATINPASS miles (called Generic miles) to any other participating carrier's FF programme on a 1-to-1 basis.

Keep in mind that TWA only now flies into a few contries in Europe with 767s so getting an award seat is almost impossible any time of the year. Even though TW allows you to double the miles to get around capacity controls I only saw awards at the reg miles on LP so this will not be an otion.Also keep in mind that being Platinum with TW won't help since this is a LP award and ones status on TW is of no help.
