Yes, I'm sure. I've flown these flights fairly routinely on US Airways and American over the years, domestically. There might be a situation where you're talking about a flight with an international and domestic US leg - I haven't flown one of those. But most of the flights in the US that have multiple legs and one flight number are the same plane flying around all day on the same flight number. You just get credit for the distance from your origin and your destination, not each segment.

I remember when I talked about this over in a BA thread there was a general belief that you couldn't do a DONE3/4 with every flight >2000 miles therefore earning either 140 or 210 TP per segment. It's a lot harder now, but over the last year or so, it was ridiculously easy, resulting in TP hauls of around 2500+ TP on a single ticket.

LATAM announcing the start of GRU-JNB for sometime in 2016 (pending government approval).

Will be cool to be able to start a RTW ex-JNB heading to South America first. Wonder what sorts of changes that would bring to the sheet.

Interesting new option.

What is LATAM like? Do they offer F? What is F (if available) and J like?

At the very least it should cause the removal of

No F. But J is very nice especially on the 787s and the A350s they will be receiving soon. Looking forward to trying that route.

You're optimistic. I agree it should but doubt it will.

If they remove the ex-JNB DONE4 minimum requirement, this means southern hemiphere DONE3s. Completely awesome.

Less useful, perhaps, if one's primary purpose is MR.

Be careful for what you wish for. The transits thru Europe/ME may become more restrictive than they are now. I remember that one could end anywhere in S. America until such time as more flights became available. ex-CCS anyone???

JJ offers F but only to JFK, AFAIK. Maybe that got pulled. I have a strong suspicion however that JJ J is actually not lie flat on most of their aircraft.

LA offers a good J product in their 787s.

I think the other airlines in the LATAM group only offer Y but I am not an expert.

I guess as this is originating in GRU it will be JJ metal.

Iirc, TAM's first class was eliminated last November.
The first class routes thread seems to confirm:

New Version 1-Nov-2015
 
Changes I've spotted are:

Atlanta has been added to the list of East Coast cities in rule 4(k)

US Airways has been removed, including its affiliates in rule 4(i) and its exception in rule 5 allowing business travellers to fly first class

That shouldn't be an issue. No US Airways flights exist (from 17 October 2015 IIRC).

Yup - all AA from now on, so nothing to see there.

Atlanta was added on 1st September, wasn't it? It caused me to completely rework the DONE3 I'm on now, as I was booking first week of September and had planned LAX-ATL-PDX-ATL-SEA-ATL.

On the upside, I'm finally pulling the lever on a PHX-ANC flight in a couple of days as a result.
