Yeah, but not EQM yet. Cassio asked about EQM.

I was able to buy the LAX-EZE tickets for $337.20 AI on travelocity departing LAX on 8.16 returning on 8.26. Would love to meet any other FTers on these flights. Question: I have lifetime memberships to the Admirals Club, CO Presidents Club and NW WorldCLub and no status. What lounges will I be able to use? I suspect that my best bets are the ACs in MEX and EZE. Will I have any options at LAX?

You have to be in the right place at the right time. CO still sells lifetime Presidents Club Memberships and NW did until after they were acquired by DL last year. AA most recently sold lifetime AC memberships for about six months back in 2005. A CO membership is currently $5,500 which is the same price I paid a few years back for my AC membership.

Looks dead. I tried looking up some dates and they are in the $700+ range now. Good thing the holds do work. I booked something I put on hold last night. Like many others, I'm going to be there the week of 8/25.

Dude, you're right. The flights are getting booked but flights further away are dropping in price. I found some in Sept for $287.

Man those $287 flights are a great price but in the end they cost the same as my $337 flight. The reason is that I live a few hours away from LAX. For the night flights, I can get there and take the flight on the same day. For the $287 flights, they leave at 9:40 or so in the morning so I would have to get a hotel for the night before. A great rate if you live in LA though. Although all the ones I've found are 3 stop 24 hour runs.

Oh my god! This is the most ridiculous fare I've ever seen. Put a few itineraries on hold last night @337. Re-booking those at 287 today...

I'm considering book one on cheaptix, do they also has a 24h refund policy? I have no idea whether we can see any sub-300 fare tomorrow.
287$...The dream comes true. Would we get 237$ tomorrow?

Mexicana is getting hammered. I get the "We are unable to find recommendations for your search. Please change your search criteria and resubmit the search. " error about 9 out of 10 times. I wish it would remember my search settings. I sure wish there low price guarantee was longer than 1 hour.
