The Compound Verdict

Since LATAM left oneworld, its US cobrand is the practical way for North Americans to play in the LATAM Pass program. The perks package is the draw: upgrade segments and lounge passes can outvalue the bonus itself on long South America routes. Cardless also offers a no-fee LATAM Airlines Mastercard with a 15,000-mile offer for occasional flyers.
