So then, if it works for AA, why doesnt it work for the 2 others.... or is this a gamble on the part of AA to try to "steal" the market from its only 2 "real" competitors for traffic from EZE to the USA....????
At present AA is the only one of the U.S. Big 3 which flies to MVD so it's the only one which can take advantage of this workaround. We were looking at flying to MVD (for a separate trip) awhile back and every UA itinerary we checked would have routed us through PTY and onto CM for the MVD leg.
