Got an op up from EZE-PTY just before I entered the jetway, and based on that, would not spend the extra miles for FC - it's basically the same as CO domestic product, though the FAs are nicer (sorry CO FAs, while only had ONE bad experience with a VERY RUDE FA in coach, this was a half step up from 80% of CO FAs).

And there's a choo-choo Tren al Fin del Mundo Parc Nacional that was a lot of fun.
