No Show Factor - South America?

Does anyone have any experiences with flights to Sao Paulo or Buenes Aires? I'm trying to find out whether there is typically a high or a low no-show factor on USA - GRU and EZE flights, e.g. UA from IAD-EZE or ORD-GRU. I know that it all boils down to the day, but there are some trends - e.g. flights from India - Europe have massive no show factor trend, flights from Caribbean - Europe/US have low no show factor trend etc.

I'm looking at a possible trip in early March to SCL via GRU or EZE.

Thanks!

They tend to be overbooked, esp. AA.

What airline are you flying?

As this appears to be a UA issue, I am moving this thread to the UA Forum

What the AA people said applies to UA, too. Since the collapse of RG, the GRU routes tend to be very full. Not sure about EZE.
