I'd also note that there are many, many months of the year -- including November -- where you can do this trip from any USA city served by AA for 40,000 miles roundtrip (coach) -- less than 1 credit card app. So it's not like this is a hard place to get to cheap. The problem with Iguazu is the double visa issue.

I have super long layovers in GRU both ways. Assume others the same? Over 10 hours on way there and over 8 on way back.
What are people planning to do? Heard GRU lounges are terrible...

Booked!
Booked a nice little 7 day trip w/ the wife from LAX-LIM-GRU-GIG-LIM-IGU with a great 4 day stopover in Rio to hang on the beach and see the sights. 11/4 - 11/11
All for $386 all in. Pretty crazy of a fare from the West Coast. My legs are scared of the travel that awaits
Looks like I am earning 25% EQM on these ) and Q fares on AA - sadly this may still help me hit Gold LOL.
Does anyone know if BA or LAN will give me 100% EQM on O or Q fares?

The 9500 miles OW is odd. DL has been offering 20,000 coach award tickets with a 21 day advanced purchase requirement and a few short flights for 5,000 each way, but I've never heard of 9,500 one way or 19,000 RT.
