Another attendee also used EK to EZE, with an itinerary that was DXB-GRU-EZE.
I'm not sure if anyone else arrived at last year's event on TAM, but note, if you are thinking of using a *A itinerary, TAM, will most likely depart from *A to OW at some point this year because of the LANTAM arrangement going to OW.

Check whether you will need a visa for Brazil for transit. Also, Brazil is a country that seems to have some exotic diseases, or at least some other countries think they do, so make sure you won't need any shots.

No transit visa for Brazil if you are flying int'l to int'l through an airport that has a secure transit facility (i.e., GRU).

Looking into it. Honest question: if I go alone (no DH), would people be willing/able to push my wheelhcair? It's a very light travel wheelchair, and I weigh under 90 lbs. If DH goes, this is not an issue. I speak perfect Spanish, if that helps!

Not sure I fully understand your question. Are you asking if when you join the group events (ie. planned activities with other FTers) there will be someone willing to assist...?

Gaucho --
Put me down as a strong maybe +1. DH has never been to BA, there is an overnight AA flight, and there is a Marriott in San Martin (I'm assuming that's a good location; if it's not let me know!).

The Marriott is located near Plaza San Martin, very good location, and a very nice hotel - I understand that the frequent stay members get very good treatment at this property, especially if you have top status.
