That's just the website using (very) outdated information. It's a flight from MIA-LIM operated by TACA (TA) www.taca.com

Correct - they have merged and the A330s came from Avianca, they may actually be operating as Avianca now overall, I haven't kept up with that merger.

You'll be under the table by the time you get to LIM
I'm doing a IAH-LIM with stopover in SAL (just a 1 hour stop, not that bad for a very tiny airport -just 5-6 gates as I recall). The A330 is from Avianca.

IIRC with the TACA/Avianca merger they are planning on expanding SAL as a hub so there will be more *A destinations to South America to come, which will be great to have UA, CM, and AV to choose from.

Looking to fly from Lima to Cusco, and saw TACA operated by Trans American Airlines.
Can anyone share experience in terms of whether it offers Star Alliance benefits (through TACA) and mileage earning opportunity for UA M+ members?

*A Gold benefits in TACA? I think, yes.
