There's a full-J fare filed for SCL though - but I haven't tried to get an OTA to find it so YMMV.
I'm also looking at SCL and got in on Expedia. Might book it, but not convinced with flying LATAM.

I'd rather not involve an OTA during these times. Cancellation is free of charge, if i understand the fare rules correctly, no?

I see BUD - SCL with Iberia on Google Flights.

I think it's bookable via the LATAM site.

Ditto this - of getting tickets via OTA (even respectable ones). Had quite a number of experience even with short haul trips within EU - wasting lots of phone time or worst unanswered calls, etc.
Same understanding here on the cancellation rules - I did see on the LATAM site that this was the case.

@Deckter: Hope you received the e-tix by now. I saw that you mentioned couple of posts before that nothing is coming in after an hour, in my case, it was < 30 mins for sure. I guess you paid directly on the LATAM site, so you will not get any payment confirmation, I did it via PayPal, so I at least got their payment confirmation which at least allows me to have a proof of payment.

Cheers!

I think, it’s impossible to get oneworld codes, because

AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST INCLUDE TRAVEL VIA TRANSATLANTIC
SECTORS ON
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
ANY JJ FLIGHT
ANY LA FLIGHT

It forces IB flight to LA7099 code

Fully agree it's best to avoid any OTA. But LATAM won't price out my trip or crash at the payment page. That makes a direct booking no option

I only got payment confirmation through my Amex app, the LATAM website crashed, and it's been almost two hours since. Thinking of booking another set of tickets and just cancelling one...if, indeed cancellation is free of charge.

Anybody got eticket email directly from LATAM in last hour just after booking? We booked at 10:12am CET, directed to confirmation page and email in a minute. After that we tried to buy two more tickets, payment page reloaded to main page and no confirmation page nor the email. Now, the money has been taken for the two tickets too.

I am patient for the eticket however it might be sign something is going on in LATAM, fare is being pulled out and they dont make new e-tickets?

Got through to the final stage of booking on LATAM and payment was declined. However, got an email with a PNR and a link to pay...However, still can't find a way online for LATAM to accept payment (The payment page on their website seems to be down)...very frustrating.

Received my eticket confirmation mail from Latam 3 minutes after payment at 10:59h.
