Star: LGA - EZE/AEP $650 ai rt

marketed by tam, mostly operated by united, some lan (oneworld), some aerolinas (skyteam). all kind of strange combinations out there tonight.

connecting via chicago, e.g.

sample 11/2 - 11/5

bookable on different sites like webjet.com, ceapoair.com and travelocity (a little more expensive here)

did not check booking class, so do your own math.

I don't see the fare for those dates?
Even ITA doesn't show the fare?

W Class.

The United portions will earn miles. But the GRU-EZE/AEP will not if crediting to UA.

Valid for travel from August 6th - December 10th.

Weird on ITA- if you search ex-NYC or JFK, LGA the fares do not show up. If you just search LGA, they do.

PS: Cheapest im now seeing is $702 on UA via ORD/IAD and GRU. Not quite MR territory at 6 cpm, but certainly a great deal. I'd likely pay the $200 more though and cut out a stop.

Actually books into UA G and TAM L class for 100% earning on UA. total of 14k PQM for ~$700, so 5 cpm. Also with Premier bonuses, up to another 12k RDM...

Great fare to those parts. If i remember correctly, US citizens dont have to pay the reciprocation fee if they fly into AEP (vs. EZE)

That is correct you pay the fee only if you fly into EZE not at AEP that is a saving of $ 150

That's unfortunately no longer the case. Booths to collect the reciprocity fee have been added to AEP so that loophole is closed.

December 2010. It is still possible to avoid the fee by entering the country via another airport, such as COR or MDZ.

I just bought JFK-GIG-EZE-GIG-EZE for Dec 6 to 11 for $770. I needed to go to BA and that price was too good to resist. Closest price for other flights was $1100.
I think it's still available on Momondo.
