Do you want the bad news or the very bad news?
There is very little chance of LA award seats unless you are of a high tier LA FF. See the FT LAN Board for this depressing news. And with the discontinuation of the LA South American AirPass, you now have to pay serious money to get to USH. AEP-USH seems packed with gringos and they seem to want to fly on LA for some unknown reason. If you don't like that, then take the bus.
Thanks for that.
Are there any other airpasses that can be purchased that cover flying on LAN and I think TAM?
I have heard of one but cannot find any prices.
