my original itinerary has me going to buenos aires, mendoza, iguazu, rio, then back to usa via EZE. we fly rio-eze on TAM and arr @ 2pm. my friends and i all have outbounds from eze between 8-9pm.

i doubt i'll have bp until i get to eze. i'm on an econ award ticket and lost my aa elite status this year. i have 1 suitcase to check in.

but there's more than meets the eye. i could forgo rio and goto el calafete instead. but the flt would arr at the domestic airport at 549pm same day as my 9pm aa flight from eze, sounds a little tight if you ask me, but since we have so many folks weighing in, i thought i'd throw this alternative scenario in. will be starting another thread asking about el calafete
