Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C.
- Book LATAM lie-flat business class from JFK, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) or Miami International Airport (MIA) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) in Peru for only 50,000 Virgin points one-way, plus minimal taxes and fees of around $55.

Additionally, it can help you maximize your rewards when booking international Saver-level fares on Virgin Atlantic flights or booking on partner airlines such as Delta or LATAM.
Before transferring your points, always confirm award availability. Plus, we recommend comparing the cash rate versus booking through a transfer partner or booking via the Chase Travel portal using Ultimate Rewards, since you may get a better value by doing so instead of transferring.
