Which brings us back to how and why the IB segments remain? If IB requested LA cancel their segments, why would they still leave their own segments? Maybe thinking we'd all start cancelling with the intra-South America segments gone? For those of us who are going via LIM or EZE, you can get those flights in economy for less than $200, that's certainly not going to deter someone like myself. Those with GRU or MVD, a bit different story possibly but still not crazy considering the overall deal.
