Ah, the poor mouse stuck in the cold returns to bid us happy holidays! Hope all is well!
I will be in B. A. on March 5th.
I am using 40,000 American Airlines Miles. The off season starts at the end of February. With those miles you can get two stops. I have used it before for Brazil and Argentina.
I also used it for Colombia and Venezuela with Continental which was 50,000 miles.
United is also 50,000.
[QUOTE=Sportsman]100K miles are the normal cost for non-capacity controlled coach award ticket from the US to South America on most if not all US carriers. A capacity controlled award ticket is half that, but usually you have to book that months ahead of time.[/QUOTE]
I'll be in BA in about a week. Just a short stay, unfortunately, 4 1/2 days. I'll be back for a month a few weeks later, though.
[blue]Greetings everyone,
I moved the general discussion about airline frequent flyer programs, bad service, etc to a new thread.

Well, I'm in town for a few days. Moving from the semi luxurous Hilton to the downmarket Days Inn. In the long trip down to BA, I managed to mess my ankle up, so am now gimping around.
I'm going to check out an apartment or two for my month long stay next month, and try to get a little steam off at a privado in the next couple of days.
Yes I need to get my fill of BA again. It has been a year away. I still do not have a place yet but I am inquiring. Anyone that has inside info on places (apartments) close to Recoletta, I'm all ears!
Depending upon the availability of a place it will be 1 week either March 11 or 18.
Anyone else in town?

It looks like Exon or his close relative is posting on Craig's List.

Whatever you do, don't ever stay at the Days Inn Comfort Inn. AC didn't work, their 21" tv advertised online was 13", free wireless internet was non-existent, and their queen bed was two tiny twins pushed together, that would move apart if you slept in the middle.
Let me know if anyone is up for some drinks or churascos or hit the major clubs.
I coming to do more of my Privado studies.
I will be hanging out at the l'Alliance if it is still open, when I get there.
I bought Ramiro a book "How to Run a Restaurant for Dummies".
I will be in BS AS for a week starting March 24th if anyone wants to get together and get a drink, food, or go mongering.
I will be arriving March 12th and staying in the Rec area? Until March 20th. Last minute scheduling is really a *****! See everyone at the Alliance or? Keep me informed on where everyone wil be meeting due to X's being closed. Or at least where the ladies will be hanging out!

Where did you end up renting Rusty, and for how much?
Exon
Exon,
After many emails with rental agencies and conversations with AA (American Airlines) yes everything is set. I promise not to do this again at the last moment. Yea right!
Anyway, three agencies were trying to find out what they had still available. The airline was not being too nice about using the miles on certain flights and also how long I could hold a reservation without confirmation. The rental agencies had to confirm with the owners if the apartments were available. Each agent had a differnt situation or hassles to get the info from the owners to the rental agents to me.
It seemed that every time I got the fight plans reset the apartment plans fell apart.
Today, Gabriela at BAiresapartments called back with the owners approval to rent thier place cross streets of Pacheco De Melo and Junin. It's a little more than what I wanted to pay but it seems to be very nice from the pics.
I know that Tomas at BA4U had one place but it was rented during this scirmish. I also tried BM at Renting BA. He had a new place but could not confirm if it was available. He also had others earlier but I could not get the flights set up properly in time.
So that's it.
So I guess I will see you over at Alliance or?
