I've found a very large discrepancy.

These are unsaleable NET fares. I can't even pull up the rules in Galileo. The system inhibits me, perhaps because they can only be bought on the net.

BUE-COR SAT-01JAN05 UNSALEABLE FARES
NET FARES
CX FARE FARE C AP MIN/ SEASONS...... MR GI
ARS BASIS MAX
1 AR 166.00R OAP10 O 10+ 2/14 R WH
2 A7 166.00R NAP10 N 10+ 2/14 R WH
3 A7 208.00R VRT V 4+ 2/15 R WH
4 AR 250.00R LAP21 L 28+ 7/21 R WH
5 A7 250.00R LAP21 L 28+ 7/21 R WH
6 A7 131.00 M M 1+ R WH
7 A7 149.00 K K + R WH
8 A7 169.00 H H + R WH

That first fare is equivalent to US$56 return.

The best, besides the airpasses are some fares of US$66 1-way on AR in B class that are salable only in combination with an international arrival ticket on AR.

AR 66.00 BVD B
AR 116.00 QVD Q

There is an agency dealing with youth travel in BA that should have English speakers. Check www.asatej.net. You don't have to be a youth to deal with them; you just can't get youth fares. Perhaps they have a way around this problem. Let us know if you find one.
