MP question in regards to A* flight
Wow, this might be a record for me - starting two threads in one day! 
Anyways, I need to go to Santiago, Chile in April. I called MP about getting a award ticket since I knew Air Canada flew down there via YYZ. There is no availibility within the dates I need for the YYZ-SCL portion. Tonight, I just noticed that Swiss Air flies to SCL as well via Zurich. So my question is - if I tried an awards ticket on this airline - would I have to use 50k to get to Europe, then another 70k to get to South America or do I just use the 50k for North America to South America? Is there another airline that I should consider?
Thanks for your help!

kluau88 - I feared that was the truth. Dang it! I didn't want to waste all my miles for a business trip.
iluv2fly - No worries on moving the post - I couldn't decide where I should post it. Thanks!
KiwiFlyer - That is a good idea. I will work on that option.
