Yes, class "U" (business award) is common for LA and AA (among others). I would call again, asking for a specific flight, as shown on lan.com.

I definitely suggest picking up The Complete Guide to Easter Island from the Easter Island Foundation if you make the trip.

So if you see availability for a member for a specific program it doesn't insure that there is availbility by using mileage from another program.
