WK connections via MIA and SJO also work.

(The higher PQM earn on LX mainline is somewhat offset by the greater distance for ZRH-EZE-BOG)
The difference between ZRH-EZE-BOG or ZRH-GRU-BOG is only 1276 miles each way, GRU and EZE are reasonably close cities geographically. But the PQM difference for having LX metal vs WK is very significant considering the long haul segment distance to/from ZRH.

I finally started to look into it more, quite a few connection cities allowed on the fare, but GRU would provide the highest PQM for Mileage Plus folks (by a long shot).

Checked a few random dates, seems that the P availability to GRU is fine, even with the married segment issue.

Not sure yet how I'm going to work in positioning to AMS yet but this a very attractive run for me.
