Sorry, left out some pertinent details as I'm multi-tasking at the moment.

J seats, 2 passengers.

When I have looked at EZE in the past (and today) I've found the availability predictable, be it on AC directly or on UA via IAH.

Have never looked at GIG previously, and just went through the UA calendar and saw no J seats a year (or less) from now.
