LAX-LIM-IPC-SCL-MVD-EZE-GRU-LIM-LAX. If you go to Buenos Aires via Mendoza, you would save yourself $140 on the entry fee that they collect at EZE/AEP. You are already saving the Chilean entry fee by entering Chile via IPC.

I agree with almost all of this, except that I think JakeRyan1 mixed up his airport codes. The code for Mendoza, Argentina is MDZ. Alternatively, MVD is Montevideo, Uruguay.
