DL: LAX-EZE $477 all in: IT'S NOW BOOKABLE!
An ITA search yielded this fare and availability would seem to be plenty, but wasn't able to price it anywhere.
Edit to add: after several hours, the fare was loaded on all booking engines (Delta, Travelocity, etc). Lots of availability for now ^ .
@ moderator: could you please change the title of the topic to reflect that it is now bookable
?

Hmm... odd. This forum's favourite travel provider, Travelocity, does price it out at the $477 figure (plus $5 fee). Even delta.com doesn't have this fare.
Maybe it's an old fare? Same fare basis - just a different base fare ($399 vs. $549).

Delta has it now!
This is a nice price. I just booked a trip for early may. I didn't try any exotic routing, but it's 13,900 miles RT. .034 per mile before any types of elite bonuses.
$477.65 total, RT.

Ive got a nice MR on hold using Delta Dollars. I have two seperate res...
May 5 MCI-SLC-LAX
May 6 LAX-ATL-EZE
May 8/9 EZE-ATL-LAX
May 9 LAX-SLC-MCI
The LAX-EZE portion was $477 all in and the MCI-LAX was $208.13 all in. I have a voucher for $400 and one for $200 so all I will pay is $85.13 plus the $10 for each res to be processed at the airport.
Total: $105.13 for 16,800 miles x .25 Silver Medallion Bonus = 21,000 miles ^

The best part about this is that there's no advanced purchase requirement (!) and 2-day or first Sunday minimum stay! You could leave on a Saturday and come back on Sunday night without having to stay anywhere. Don't suppose there's too much of an advantage, but you could route LAX-SLC-ORD-ATL-EZE also.

Yes...its very seldom that you see this type of opportunity for an International Mileage Run. Gotta love it!!
