Maybe this is first tangible result of merger integration, ie. UA 3X FDs now will start working on CO and NEW UA. I asked exactly this question here on FT about 2 weeks ago, but received no answer(s). Maybe I answered my own question.

Ya , You got got it. Not $ 385.00 (SCL ) but $ 320.00 in savings and that is very good. Congrats !

While SCL at $ 385.00 is nice, EZE at $ 320.00 YQ savings is just a better place. Bife de Chorizo con vino Luigi Bosca Malbec 2003 . Fabulous.

I am back to EZE tomorrow from NYC via BOG and SCL on my $ 36.50 One Way return + $ 100.40 LA SCL-BUE for some serious Bife de Chorizo 450 grama con Vino Tinto Luigi Bosca MALBEC 2003 at Restaurant El Establo Buenos Aires. VIVA Argentina. Then I go to Colonia and Punta Este Uruguay. Cheap and lovely ! ! In Uruguay , I will have have Vino Tennet - super strong. Remember what they say in Uruguay: " You do not "drink" Tennet, You "EAT" it. - that is how concentrated and strong flavoured the wine it is ! !

Nice one. I'm working on a SIN trip late next winter and have eliminated most of $370 YQ.

Did you manage to eliminate/minimize it with a friendly strike?

Best I could get for EZE on the Big O is $633 + $136 (taxes) = $769 on blue globe airline. Is that the one?

Buenos Aires is great. Funny you mention El Establo, because that's where most airline Crews go for dinner on their layovers.

Would someone be kind enough to give me a hint of how to dump YQ? Or better still a real example? I read through lots of posts but cant get anything to work. For example, booking LH with UA codeshare dumps nothing I am pretty sure, once I get the hang of it, I can contribute a lot to this thread.

Thanks
