Reward partner flights in Argentina
Hello all,

I was looking to secure a trip through South America looking something like this:

JFK-LIM (stop)-EZE (stop)-FTE (destination)

The problem is, I can't find flights to FTE though some users have reported success in booking this route in the past. Any suggestions/wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

There are some South American destinations which ba.com doesn't seem to recognise, and FTE is probably obscure enough. So I guess you' may have to call them to search for flights, as well as to book of course.

I spoke to a representative but she couldn't find any flights through her system. I also asked for LIM-AEP-FTE but that doesn't seem to exist either. Am I out of luck in this case?

AEP-FTE looks like it only flies M-F..It's flight LA 4438, operated by LAN Argentina. Dep@4:30AM Arvl@10:20AM Hopefully providing some of this info could help you with getting an agent to locate this invisible flight.
