Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 15, 2014 Members Posted February 15, 2014 I took advantage of the current fare wars to S.A. and purchased a Business class ticket to Buenos Aires from LAX for $1,720 a.i.! That is round trip BTW! A real bargain. My friend The Points guy has a article on his blog detailing some of the ways to find these bargains-and there are actually cheaper ways to get to South America! http://thepointsguy.com/2014/02/cheap-business-class-fares-to-south-america-from-1099/ TotallyOz, flipao and JKane 3 Quote
Guest Paragon Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I checked some of the fares. and they look more like coach fares! Do you get FF miles on these fares? Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 15, 2014 Author Members Posted February 15, 2014 Except for the AeroMexico fares you not only get full milage but on UA and AA you get a bonus for buying a business class fare.I am getting over 23k AA miles for this ticket. I am considering buying one to Lima as well! Quote

Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 15, 2014 Author Members Posted February 15, 2014 UA and AA mainly. The blog post I linked to explains how to find these fares Quote

Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 16, 2014 Author Members Posted February 16, 2014 I am trying to work out a side trip to Iguassu Falls and it is turning into a bit of a headache the fare for this 90 minute flight is $350 and you have to transfer airports within Buenos Aires - it is on my Bucket list however- and this fare was a bargain so I am going to make it happen. BTW I hope to make it to Rio next year so I hope there is another fare war for the LAX-GIG route! Quote
Guest Paragon Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 There is not a fare for the LAX-GIG route. I checked. Well, there are fares, just not bargain fares. Rio is apparently not included in this sale. Iguazu Falls, spelled differently depending on the country, is well worth the visit. We went to both the Argentinian side and the Brazilian side and were glad we did. It took two days to see it all. Quote
