Does anyone actually fly Aerolineas?!

Pretty well every post I have seen here bags them, but for most domestic routes surely you have no choice?

Absolutely no-one here seems to have a real clue on fares that can and can't bought by tourists etc, so AAA appear to make up the rules as they go along which is never helpful.

I've asked in a few threads if buying 'B' class fares is top or bottom of the totem pole and it appears no-one here has a clue.

I went and looked at their website and they are unhelpfully vague about fare classes like 'B':

So I still am none the wiser.

This business of upgrading domestic flights like AEP to USH for 600 points seems like a steal if you can get points from credit cards etc which I assume you can?

Altho it seems assume nothing with this carrier.

Anyway if anyone has some points they want to trade let me know if we can be your "beneficiary" - ozstamps at gmail.com

That's assuming they even HAVE 2 cabins on domestic flights, again they do not really offer much info.

- National Flights:

Between 15 consecutive days and 72 working hours in advance before the departure of the flight..

Aerolineas Plus account holder a beneficiary registered in his/her account will be able to use upgrade in exchange of points.

It is an essential condition that the passenger has a ticket paid in tourist class, in full fare that qualifies for this product.



The dopes do not TELL you what classes qualify as "a ticket paid in tourist class, in full fare that qualifies for this product."

We fly domestically in pretty close to 72 hours if we want to swing some upgrades - not sure how they count 'working hours" - dont they work 24/7 in BA?.
