Welcome to the new oneworld alliance. The two latest members, TAM and US Airways, are now showing up as available for booking on some partner websites. British Airways Avios can be used to book awards and there do not appear to be any fuel surcharges applied between the US and South America:
And US Airways awards look similarly available:
Qantas does not yet have the inventory showing up on their site.
I expect that Qantas and other carriers will start to show the availability soon. In the mean time, at least for a few more minutes, the US space is also showing on the United site.
That was supposed to be gone around 11pm so I doubt it will last too much longer.
Enjoy the new award bookings!

Cool. US Airways seems to be working, kinda. When I search on BA for CHA-MHT, it finds nothing, but when I search CHA-DCA and then separately DCA-MHT, it finds seats even though it’s a 2 hr connection.
Thanks for the heads up, the best part when I looked up JJ award space on BA.com, the one date I needed mirrored what AA had available as an award. When I called last week, and was using UA as my guide the Ex Plat desk never saw any matching space that UA saw.
JFK-GRU here we come in F
Per UA phone agent, JJ was not bookable when I called at 5:30 PM ET, although website showed space available. Successfully booked via AA at about 2 AM ET.
