LA SCL/IPC return J 457€ AI (7,82 cpm)
Maybe not a real mileage run, but it credit 280 TP on BA and 5.840 Avios. Don't know about OW partners.
Booked yesterday via LAN website (Chile country), Y and J class same price. Booked as Premium Business I class.

SCL-IPC is one of the most expensive routes in a market that is not known for cheap air travel IME..

This is a (probably) well-known trick for all LAN-operated flights, e.g., LAN Ecuador, LAN Peru, LAN Argentina, and LAN Chile - you have to claim yourself to be the locals of that country to score a bargain. The caveat is: some countries will check your ID at the counter. So play this game at your own risk

SCL-IPC is over 2000 miles so BA members earn 140 TPs / segment.

I've been looking at this as well as it came up in ITA Matrix, until I changed the sales city. Looking on the Lan forum, cheaper domestic flights on Lan Chile seems to be their operating model - no residency requirements.

If you have a LAN US Bank credit card, you can also be elgible for a 20% discount on your 1st LAN purchase, shown on your following monthly statement. I believe its only valid on the 1st LAN purchase annually.

Yes, I couldn't find a way on the site to force a booking in D or J when there was I availability. Shame as the price difference is minimal fo fully refundable.
