MCO to Buenos Aires (EZE) award ticket

I need help with an award ticket (and preferably two) from MCO to EZE leaving 4/12 and returning 4/21 (not really flexible but could do +/- one day) in business.
Could leave out of Miami or any other airport in Florida
I have CO/UA miles only
No Copa airlines !!! I am looking for real business.

Do you think something will open up closer to the date? I am looking at fare classes and it is not looking good. Any experts out there care to chime in?

Thank you in advance for your help

UA/CO fly from IAH and EWR to EZE. You can pretty much forget about saver business award only two months out. I would take the saver F award seat UA-NYC pointed out in a second.

Another option is MIA to GIG/GRU on TAM (*A award) and connect to EZE.

Are you serious? I don't know if I should be happy for more miles, or upset at having to fly 2 more hours each way and deal with the lovely EWR airport.

I am serious. At least you don't have to deal with the IAD "temporary" concourse. But it just continues the trend of de-emphasizing IAD in favor of EWR.

FWIW I think, as the crow flies, EWR is only an extra ~220 miles.

I cannot see any much reward for TAM on CO website.
Do you have a way of seeing how much award is there?

Regarding the first class seat available; it is really nice but that means having to buy a First Class ticket on UA; not in my plans.
