Which airline to book for YVR to LIM?
I have miles in US airways, Delta, American Airlines, and British Airways . I would like to book 3 economy classes for YVR to LIM for Late August 2012 to beginning of September 2012 for about 10 to 11 days.
Which would be the best to use my Awards tickets?

If the routing is allowed, try for YVR-LAX on AS, connecting to LAX-LIM on LA, for 17,500 AAdvantage miles each way, per person.
The most economical redemption using BA miles would require traveling on a single partner -- AA -- with a routing of YVR-DFW-MIA-LIM-MIA-DFW-YVR.
Not sure how many miles US or DL would charge, but you should have a fair number of options using US miles.

You can get from YVR to Lima for 17.5K each way per person using AA miles that time of year - if you go or come back after September 7, it's actually only 15K miles each way (on AA metal).

If you actually want to go beyond Lima (like to Cuzco), you can book an AA partner award utilizing a combination of AA and LAN flights. Lan has an extensive network in Peru, as well as a number of flights from North America to Lima.

Destination is Cuzco so are you saying they can book for YVR to Cuzco via Lima on 17.5k miles each way on AA
