American Airlines and Delta switched their airline partners in Brazil. GOL again teamed with AA, and LATAM is with DL.
American Airlines has now made GOL awards bookable online without having to call reservations (don’t we all hate having to call some partner awards?).
You can access AA’s page for partner awards here.
GOL has a vast flight network within Brazil and limited service to other countries in South America.

Conclusion
I hate having to call award reservations in and prefer programs that allow you to do everything online.
Some of the airfares within Brazil have been nuts lately (read more here), and I have often redeemed United miles for flights on Azul. I am glad there is now an option to redeem on GOL.
Delta awards on LATAM have been challenging to come by.
