I do have the SA segment available but can't get the dates to match up to my schedule for having the days that the SCL-IPC-SCL flights are available... and i don't have the time to stay more days. Also, even though it is sacrilidge, i'm going to have to give up some segments on this ticket as the EZE/SCL to DEL trip will be quite greuling.
on an aside. once i'm in DEL, (and used one segment as HKG-DEL), where else can I go that will maximize my segments without having to spend the overnight in HKG. The only thing I can come up with is Peking (DEL-HKG-PEK) as the flight into HKG from DEL arrives real late.
