I nticed that the original 767ER that flies to ORD at 1 pm still exists so I tried to change my ticket BACK to my original airplanes and the agent said it was impossible because it was sold out...yeah I didn't understand his reason, but should note that NO flights are anywhere near sold out.

Is there anyway to determine where the 767ER that flies to EZE originates that day as I thought it was LAX?

Sometimes you can. Especially in outstations or small hubs like SEA ,where I do all the time. If the gate that LAX-ORD flight matches the ORD-EZE flight, you got a winner. Otherwise, you will have to work really hard. Also, there are certain gates in ORD that are given widebody gates. B16, B17, C18, C19 are almost exclusively A340/B777/B744..

Also, calling A320 crappy is not fair. We should stick you on the row 22 of 733 for that LAX-ORD flight, then you'll love her
