American Airlines AAdvantage loyalty members have a new way to travel within South America.
Travelers can now use points to book flights on Chilean discounter JetSmart via American's website. This closes one of the last remaining gaps in the carriers' partnership, where AAdvantage members could book JetSmart flights but only on the budget carrier's website.
The move comes four years after American and JetSmart first unveiled their tie-up. Under the deal, American took a 35.4% equity stake in the South American airline, and JetSmart adopted AAdvantage as its loyalty program.
