Hi, any ideas as to where can I look for a relatively inexpensive fare from
Argentina (EZE) to Southeast Asia? Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong is fine.
My dates are flexible, I have to spend 10-12 days in March.
All help will be more than welcome. I am looking at a USD 3000 fare!:confused:

I think that 3000 USD is pushing it a little... but my guess is that the best possible fares will usually be found with Malaysian, or some combination involving SAA.

gracias gaucho,
MH lists for USD 4600.-, the cheapest and shortest.
AF and LH around USD 8000.-:td:

Continental and American are in the $2K (USD) range (all in ... coach) for EZE-HGK-EZE

If the OP can get business for 3000 USD when coach is in the 2000 USD range, that's pretty good value. (If it's closer to $4500-$5500, I'd be considering RTW tickets if I had future travel plans too.) However, the coach fare doesn't much help for the OP's business class desire unless using and/or getting an upgrade, which isn't as easy as it used to be.
The cheapest business class I pull off for flights between Argentina and Asia are a miles or miles & cash redemption, but that's got the trouble of finding award space and means getting ahold of some miles.

True, but the OP didnt specify biz (or I missed it). Id be shocked if there was a biz class ticket EZE - HGK for $3K ... which is the reason I assumed coach.
Your point is taken though ... if the OP has found a EZE-HGK biz class ticket for $3K USD then there isnt much hope to do any better than that IMO.

Anything in revenue C class in the 3 thousand range would be a super buy.... considering the mileage you will get, etc. - but my gut feeling is that its going to be very tough to get anything that doesnt start with a 4....

The thread title mentioned "business class", but I think your point about coach fares brings up one useful possibility: getting a coach ticket that is upgradeable using something like a United Airlines SWU (systemwide upgrade), two of which may be obtainable in Coupon Connection (at least for those with access to that forum here on FT).
