Sometime ago we let you know that TAM Airlines will be launching service to Toronto from Sao Paulo via New York. What we didn't know at the time is that TAM will have 5th freedom rights on the route which means you can fly with them between Toronto and New York with no need to go all the way to Brazil and as Gary from the View from the Wing points out, TAM is part of oneworld which means you can redeem British Airways Avios for this route at only 4,500 Avios one way in Economy or 9,000 Avios in Business class! This flight will launch on March 28 and operate 5x weekly. You can find the schedule below from Airlineroute.net.
