Sounds great but I was really trying to avoid the 1 hour transfer from EZE to AEP and killing my entire day by traveling. But at this point beggars can't be choosers I guess.
You guess correctly.
AA awards are by zone, so if there is partner availability on the AEP-MDZ flight, you should be able to book it as part of a single 30K-mile SAAver award. If that's what you want to do, I suggest that you immediately put JFK-EZE on a free, five-day hold at aa.com before someone else grabs the SAAver seat; then, call AA and ask if AEP-MDZ is available, and request that it be added to your held award for no additional mileage. (You might have to inform the AA agent that EZE and AEP are "co-terminals.")
If award seats are not available for the AEP-MDZ segment, you can book the JFK-EZE segment with either AA miles or BA Avios. For the JFK-EZE AA nonstop, BA would charge only 25,000 Avios.
Are there cheap EZE-MDZ flights available on a different carrier?
