You could route the whole trip on 787s, the layovers can be brutal at times in MEX but you can explore the city and get some good food...
Price is OK, lately I've seen and booked for clients JFK-GRU in the $1850s range...
JFK-GRU on a Skyteam partner for $1850? On AM? I've never seen prices that low on Skyteam. If that exists I will cancel this and wait for that because this is mostly an end of year mileage run to maintain Diamond.

Another booking of mine from Priceline incorrectly showed "Economy" as well, which required even
more work to get correct.
More info on that here:
Sudden Change in Aeromexico Earnings?
Like you said, that was probably as a result of the switch to a new award chart. I flew AM JFK-MEX-UIO last November and had all of my MQM/MQD perfectly in my account within five days of returning.

If you're not in a hurry just keep monitoring the AM J fares and good deals usually pop up every 3 months.
Hm. You have me reconsidering. I've always wanted to visit Buenos Aires, but for $1k less maybe it's worth passing on this and waiting for that fare -- though I've never seen it that low myself.
