Even today you can find on the BA site Business is sometimes cheaper than Premium and Economy more expensive than Premium.
Is this a mistake? Surely not, just yield management.

What is your point? Clearly there was low inventory on that economy sector and only business class was on flash sale.
After some research it appears that yesterday was Fiesta del Corpus Christi, it would make sense for airlines to offer special fares ahead of such an important holiday.

You're right - but only if your return is operated (not sure if needs to be marketed too) by a European carrier (such as IB). If your return flight(s) is/are on LA, not all your trip will be covered by EU 261/2004, but only the part departing the EU (+ connections on the same ticket, even if outside EU). Chilean consumer protection laws would apply for instance on a denied boarding for a LATAM flight SCL-MAD - and I am not sure if this protects you much...
Our case:
Return is operated by Iberia.
And I would be happy to board in Lima instead of taking the connection with LATAM from SCL.
So this should not be an issue.
We are going to visit Machu Picchu and will be in Lima anyhow.
-> Just a note on people stating problems re potential denied boarding in Chile by LATAM: In case of denied boarding by LATAM in SCL they will have no chance to win the case, since they can not state any mistake as a reason. (transport has already been done from MAD-SCL. The first half of the ticket is flown.) I can not see any basis for LATAM having any case here.
Info on seperate segments
The outbound and return flights are always considered as two separate flights even if they were booked as part of one reservation. In some cases the airline operating the flight (also known as the operating air carrier) may not be the same as the one from which you bought your ticket. In case of any difficulties only the airline which operates the flight can be held responsible. In cases where an airline hires (under a wet lease) an aircraft including crew from another airline, the airline which hires the aircraft has operational responsibility for the flight and is regarded as the operating airline under EU rules (specifically Regulation 261/2004).

Hello All,
I know there is a lot of emotion behind this thread and what will happen here. Please refrain from long protracted arguments regarding the EU rules etc. Please keep it civil.
Thanks

As someone who searches for airfares continuously and buys dozens of airline tickets annually, I've seen fares high and low, and have absolutely no way (nor desire) to second guess the reasoning of the other party. They made the offer voluntarily, and I accepted it voluntarily. The contract was properly formed.
Any insinuation about "mistake fare" that passenger "ought to know" about is just that - pure speculation.

For OTAs - it should be their problem then to discuss this with LATAM if in doubt.
Prices and fares published on the website:
".. Prices and fares published on the website: The Company assumes that the fares published on the website are correct, so it will assume the responsibility for any error..."
ryandc99 - My last comment on this here in the thread. Should all be quite clear anyhow.
