Maybe someone has a suggestion for what I'm trying to do. I have a business award with a stopover in GIG, connecting to EZE with a stopover, and then flying back to the States. Before leaving I want to visit Iguassu.
- Plan A: When I arrive in EZE, connect to AEP-IGR. This won't work because there's only 45 minutes before the last flight out.
- Plan B: After visiting Buenos Aires, go to Iguassu on my last 2 days. Fly home going IGR-AEP/EZE-JFK. I'll have a long layover and should be OK.
- Plan C: Make it an open jaw. Buy GIG-IGR nonstop on TAM. Cross with my luggage and stay on the Argentina side. After 2 days, depart IGU-EZE on LAN.
- Plan D: Same as C but connect through GRU or CWB
Plan B seems the easiest
Plan C minimizes travel. However I don't know how much trouble it is to get from IGU to, for example, the Sheraton on the Argentina side. It sounds easy, but I'm unsure. This would cost me $200 more than the other options (between 2 passengers).
Plan D: Same price as B, but saves no travel time. (I'm also giving up a business segment by doing this)
