Why... This is a part of Machu Picchu run over Labor Day weekend (LGA-MIA-LIM-CUZ-AC). Leaving NYC after work on Thursday, Aug 30 and back home late on Monday, Sep 3 . Already took a lot of vacation in 2012, so don't have any days to spare.

For weeks there was no availability between NYC and LIM, but couple of seats opened up last night. Booked MIA-LIM in J on LAN and LIM-CUZ-LIM in Y.

I'm relatively close to LGA, so 6:30pm allows me to do a full day at work.

Looks like overwhelming response is to take AA flight. Now the choice is exit row in economy or pony up for F, which is ~$200 difference for 3 hour flight. Decisions, decisions.

Can you elaborate on "OneWorld rules apply"? Thanks!
