I have just booked 2 tickets for April 2021 for E878.54. I used the link from Google flights which mentioned Italy. Have received the e-ticket. Tried many times for the flights with BA and Iberia without success so am flying Lufthansa and LATAM. Crossing my fingers that we can enter Hungary and Brazil by April.

No, LATAM is not a Flying Blue partner.

For the ones that have not received confirmation numbers, on LATAM website, under My Trips, there is a "Recover your booking code" option, where you have to input some data to try and find the confirmation. Mine cannot be found after almost 3 hours.

Does anybody now if flights operated by Iberia but with Latam flight number would earn TP's with BA?

No, you'd only earn miles. No tier points. I'd be more inclined to book it if it did earn.

Try booking on LA US webpage from scratch (not via Google flight or Momondo). My initial payment didn't go through but the reservation was confirmed and there was a link where I could retrieve my reservation and make another attempt; then payment went trough (payment with MC). Priced in USD. This was 30 min ago.

Can be bought cheaper with OTA but I don't want to deal with OTA for flight changes, possible refunds etc.

I strongly recommend using their app on the phone. I was not able to make it on desktop.

There’s no booking associated with the passenger’s information. Please make sure the information is correct and try again.
= still money taken, no reservation to be found.

If anyone interested tickets are also available in Economy for around 130 USD return.

Quick question: I was able to book a random itinerary (return is GRU-MAD-BRU-BUD). Booking appears on Latam website, but I have the following message: "Due to the characteristics of your fare, we cannot make this change online." Furthermore, I have not been charged (yet?) though I do have two e-tickets (045-xxxxxxxxxx).

Is there any way to actually see if I have properly been ticketed without calling them? (would like to avoid raising any flag).

Booking is a mix LH, Latam, IB, LO, LH & IB do not recognize the PNR, LO does. And yes, they did sell me the last leg BRU-BUD as operated by Lot, which does seem weird.

Purchased via Latam site.

First Attempt -- got through to the payment page, the the system timed out to an error page, although it did charge my AMEX. No confirmation received (yet) after around 35 mins

Multiple reattempts -- all failed at the payment screen. LATAM page allowed me to select "credit card" yet did not allow me to enter any CC details.

Last Attempt (from Mobile, although seems to be desktop UI) -- Searched, selected, paid via PayPal. Charged AND received a confirmation page from LATAM with reservation code.

Yippee. I will either cancel one (if both come through) or just take the mileage run

I'm in the same boat, let me know how it goes. I also don't feel like lending them more money by booking another set of tickets.
