I've been trying to find seats for a while with no luck. Other then TAM points how can I book these with good availability?

AJK · « **Reply #1 on:** March 23, 2014, 03:36:09 PM »

Recently they've been wide open. Use basically all miles, dude, AA, UA, TAM.

Correct. Lucky and Gary have written about this over the last few months.

The better question is why aren't you

GRU, GIG, IGU, EZE would make for an awesome 10 day trip.

Who said I didn't?

Don't have 10 days, though. Will have to settle for GRU (alone?) for 5 or so.

That would be really tight and pushing it to all that in 10 days, but would be lots of fun. Done GIG, IGU and EZE in about 12.

If anything I'd say it can be done in 8 days. 12 would be the absolute max IMHO.
IGU is 2 days (1 min, 2.5 max), GIG is 2 days (1 min, 3 max), GRU is a day (2 max), and EZE is 3 days (1 min, 5 max).

No idea what would can do in GRU for 5 days.
Shabbos can be nice though.

IGU definately 2 days, one day for each side. GIG also at-least 2 days, to not just run through it, but to see and enjoy it properly. GRU has a lot more than a day of places

I think it is underrated, and forsure is the place to be for shabbos. And EZE i was there for 5 days, and every day was well enjoyed. Though i could have desperately used a 6th day to go on boat to Uruguay.

+1, wouldn't do GRU for 5 days either, a Friday to Monday would be ideal.

If you need any help planning for GRU let me know.

Worth it to leave Weds at 9am, arrive at 8PM, stay in GRU for Thurs-Sun, and leave on Sunday at 9am? Or too short to do anything?

Should be good, though i would try to get a sunday in the itin. As there are many squares and Sunday only places.

I wish I didn't have to work for a living. Ugh.

I'll try to squeeze in a Sunday. But not crazy to be on the ground Wed night-Mon morning?

Serious??

Tam is wiiiide open, search on AC.

Cheapest to book with US at 125k RT in F, but can slash that down to 60k if you take a stop.

Drago · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2014, 05:03:16 AM »

AC has generous routing rules?

Go to GIG/SDU on Weds night and fly back to GRU on Friday.
Definitely be in GRU on Sunday.

Better yet push it to 6 days and get in IGU or EZE as well or 8 days and get in all 4 cities. #BeforeYouHaveKids

GRU would be great to have Friday morning till Sunday night. But i would def try to get two more days (i.e. Wed & Thurs) if you would to add on GIG. Are you planning on Argentina, and to pay $160 fee again?

AJK · « **Reply #19 on:** March 26, 2014, 11:07:31 AM »

I'd be leaving on weds morn, so you all would suggest:

JFK-GRU-GIG, leaving NYC at 9am, arriving GIG at 12am same day.

Spending Thurs in GIG.

Flying back to GRU on Friday AM, spending shabbas, sunday, and part of Monday and back?

Don't think I can push it beyond that as we have DPS/SIN booked in July.
