I love your approach! ^


It makes your steak a bit more costly but it's doable

Booked NCE-FRA-EZE-BOG roundtrip for 2760 EUR with a stop in EZE. Not the best fare ever, but decent for a non-companion one to EZE

Also booked BOG-HAV on a separate ticket - short hop and I'd rather spend couple of days in HAV.

Thanks to all who posted routings/input, it helped.

Regards,

El Puerco Volante

how do you guys manage to get the connecting flight from GRU to BOG? i get the fare easily when trying to do TLS-GRU / BOG-TLS, but if i add GRU-BOG the price goes up 6 fold!

Fare's fine, maybe not great. Thread title, however, leaves room for refurbishment.

Which search do you use? The segment from GRU to BOG need to be on AV metal.

Tks Viper,

i tried either google flights or powertool matrix, but anyway I stopped searching since I'll probably do only colombia as i'll be short on time. Now gotta call xp to make changes to the flight.

Not correct. It can be also in LA metal or both AV and LA(GRU-BOG-GRU).

When I try to book with Priceline, the classes shown differ from the ones exported from bookwithmatrix. For instance CDG-FRA and FRA-EZE are both in business (instead of the latter in first) and in the return EZE-FRA and FRA-CDG both in first (in the latter there isn't obviously first). If I purchase the ticket, will the leg FRA-EZE be in First, as in my original search, or will it be in Business as Priceline shows? (there's no way to see the class letter, A,J, before paying the ticket) Has this occurred with someone else?

That's quite common for bookwithmatrix and priceline. You will end up in C not F, so don't bother buying. You better try powertools and chepoair.

Getting real close to pulling the trigger on this. Pricing ~$2,900 USD all LH F on the longhauls and ~$3,100 if one way is LX to GRU. Can't decide if it's worth the hassle of transiting GRU v. just flying LH both ways through EZE and stopping on one of the transits. Any even more creative legal routings? Would CDG-FRA-EZE-BOG-EZE-FRA-CDG get me *G through Eurobonus in one go? As mentioned if I sign up in March, fly this in March I should get *G for the rest of '20 and all of '21, so basically 2 years *G for the "discomfort" of having to fly LH F twice and spent a week in S.America.

Try to go all the way to purchase. Sometimes it shows incorrect on first few screens.

Yes and yes, Gold in one go and for almost two years. Close to TK Gold as well.

How does this get one close to TK gold if none of flights on this routing are TK?

There is no requirement of TK metal for any TK status level with exception to fulfill status match requirements when matched.
