I used the OW fare primarily because one books that by talking to the AA RTW desk, a great pleasure compared to trying to do business of any kind with LAN. LAN has their own version, and the fares and rules were similar. Afaik there is no requirement that you begin your in-SA travel at the inbound gateway, nor connect directly to your outbound flight, although that's mostly what people do. I don't think you need to exit SA on a OW carrier (or at all). To your questions, though: for the OW fare you need to arrive in SA on a OW flight, and AA will ask you for that PNR. Note that you may only fly any city pair once (in each direction) so if you've already flown SCL-EZE once, next time you'll have to do something like SCL-MDZ-EZE. Of course you pay for each segment according to the mileage table. Flexibility is like xONEx - a small fee ($50-75, perhaps more now) lets you add segments, etc. You can only book 16 segments (including OJs) due to eticketing mechanics, but after burning some you can add more. At that time we added 6 segments to the original OWVSA ticket, circuitously ending up in BA to pick up the back half of the original BA ticket to get us (again) out of SA, this time to FCO. We arrived in SA on a BA flight last December, flew a bunch of OneWorld Visit South America segments, and in January flew UIO-MIA on AA, returning to SA on the back half of that ticket in August. I probably quoted a price table at one point prices may be some 30% higher now. I've discussed it there on a couple of occasions. Thanks in advanceĬheck the LAN forum for more on this. Lots of question, but maybe someone has experienced this before? Anything is very welcome. If HAV is not considered a valid starting point to enter S.Am., would it work to go MAD-HAV or is that also no option? And if that is the case, would the HAV-LIM flight qualify as entry to South America? My understanding - given that the Visit South America pass is apperntly offered on the US oneworld homepage - is that it only needs to be transcontinental, so that a flight from North to South America would also qualify. have to be trans-ocean, so only the likes of MAD-LIM or SCL-AKL would qualify. My friend got information from a LAN agent that the flights to and from S.Am. MAD-LIM-Airpass-LIM-MAD with the first and last sectors on LAN or Iberia is valid?ī) Different points of origin and destination, e.g. has to originate and end in the same place, e.g. But what exactly does it mean?Ī) The flight to and from S.Am. The oneworld page only states that "Travel must be booked before departure in conjunction with return travel to South America on a oneworld airline". The real challenge now is to find out where to start. Apparently the Visit South America Airpass is the best choice for him, so we collected all flights within South America. I'm helping a friend create an itinerary through South America. First of all, I hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere, at least I couldn't find it in the forum.
