They at least have a spot on the United partner miles webpage:

A VERY good way to get to Buenos Aires without the $120 visa requirement.
A ferry ride from MVD to Beunos Aires.
No guarantee this will collect miles (based on fare class) on Star Alliance until they join in April huh?

A great "Visit South America" fare given that you can apparently stop in Lima for free. I'm seeing good inventory for next fall/winter at $540 on ITA. Is there a way to get it down to $459 during that time period?
BTW, Taca is a good airline. As a UA 1K, I am greatly anticipating their entry into the Star Alliance. I've even enjoyed my stopovers is El Salvador, although the presence of guns everywhere may not be for everyone.

I need something like this. Was awarded academic fellowship to spend 2 months of the summer studying in Brazil.
Originally was going to do some personal traveling (1 month before before) the fellowship began (SCL, EZE, MVD, GRU, GIG, then fellowship in REC, followed by more travel (another month) in LIM, and IPC)
But for $459 a/i, I'm certainly willing to change/rearrange my travel cities / order of travel.
Total trip time would be 120+, departing out of NYC, last week of April - first week or two of May.
Looking on ITA, I can't find anything less than ~$825 R/T, without even trying to do a stopover in LIM.
TACA is even worse, nearly $1100+ !!!
What are the fare rules? Is a 120+ day trip permitted?
Any other restrictions I'm bumping into that is killing $459 for me?
Thanks!

Interesting!!!
That STILL might come out cheaper
(may have to care about mileage earning potential then!)
Trying to play with different 89 day itineraries... (and then maybe find a good 30 day VacationRun out of NYC/BOS/WAS for the remaining 30 days!)
