I saw fairly good R availability on AMS-IAH-GIG // GIG-IAH-LHR, which is comfortable if not the highest mileage-earning option. Ended up booking a November trip SNN-EWR-IAH-GIG//GIG-IAH-ORD// stopover for holiday // ORD-LHR instead, priced only about €100 more than just flying home for Thanksgiving.

This is a rare excellent deal for UA travel.

Cheers - thanks for more research - this is great for folks wanting to goto both Europe and South America (from the US)...

Does anyone [with access to a GDS/EF/KVS] know if there are any fares available from Europe to a non-South American country, say to Australia or Asia? I'd goto SA, but I do NOT want to pay the visa/entrance fee (yes, I know, I should talk to my own representative,senator,etc...)! :-)
