2. If you're going to fly to Buenos Aires their only flight connects in Lima and arrives at EZE at 3:30am. Not a very good flight and you have to make connections in San Salvador and Lima on the way down from JFK. If I read the route map correctly there is no routing from anywhere in the US that will get you to Buenos Aires in under 2 connections.
UA IAD-EZE
UA does not allow for business class redemptions with Distancia miles which was the point of the original post.
