Thinking of our next bucket list trip and I decided its Easter Island between Feb and April 2017.

But how do I get to Chile with VA partners?

I could fly LAN or Qantas, Syd>AKL>Santiago in J for approx. $6Kpp (J seats) but we don't have any loyalty to QF and I don't know what I can do with the points afterwards (can I transfer to Hilton ect).

Usually Hubbys idea of trip planning help when I sound ideas off him is to stick cheese in his ears and say la la la but when he saw me on the QF website, he said we fly VA reward seats SYD>LAX then Delta LAX>Atlanta>Santiago. Hubbys thoughts are we will get SCs for the Delata flights to maintain WP and we've not been to Atlanta before so will have a stop over.

So... how do you get to Sth America via VA partners? Any suggestions and thanks,
 
SQ, EY and SA all fly to GRU. NZ fly to EZE. But none of them will get you to SCL like DL can.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

I would prefer redemption but knowing how difficult they can be to get sometimes, Im budgeting for worse case senario... which is we pay

Many thanks for the suggestions, looks like via NZ is very doable and we get SCs & points for of most of the flights.

much appreciated and thanks again!
