    LATAM lounge access in Chile with Qantas status?

    Later this month I need to take a couple of domestic Y flights in Chile, plus a flight to Peru and I'm wondering whether to spend a few dollars more to fly with LATAM. Will my Qantas Gold get me into the domestic/international lounge when flying LATAM Y? Thanks in advance

    In the next 12 months I've got a few F/J flights coming up and looking though the terms and conditions on a couple of policies it appeared that in the event of say a missed connection or illness all of them replaced the lost flights with economy.
