$100 for close in ticketing is still better than others, say NW, who charged up to $150 for many members. Hopefully other airlines will match, and get rid of some of their stupid fees.

"Our members have told us that they want ease, flexibility and availability when using their miles, and we are listening," said Robert Sahadevan, vice president - Mileage Plus.
Translation: "We have to do something to fill all these empty seats, let's look like a good egg at the same time. We can ream 'em again when the economy turns around."
There are sale from Mexicana to EZE from DFW, for only $243 all in. Trip bookable through next summer, even. First segment to Mexico City on AA, other flights on Mexicana.
Brazil, Venezuela, and other countries available. You'll probably need to use Expedia or other online booking engines. I'm sure this will evaporate quickly.

Yes, leaving out of MEX will probably not help you. I just rechecked for some dates in Oct. Nov, and I came up with a sub $200 price.
I usually use [url]http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch[/url] to find the best pricing, and then go to Expedia or such, to book.

It looks like the deal is about dead. You can still try Priceline and Cheaptickets. Com, they might work. Under $200 RT to BA is by far the cheapest I've ever seen it.
