Competition is good! With luck, they'll fly the 757 which will allow free upgrades.

[Daddy Rulz]

Everybody that adds seats free's up seats for those of us that fly as non-revs. Buy American, Continental, Delta, Southern Winds please, pretty please.

Continental has applied to begin non-stop service between Houston and Buenos Aires starting November 1.

Stormy,

If you meant Southern Winds, the Argentine airline that flies domestically throughout the country, plus to Miami and Madrid, then the web address is:

No wonder I couldn't find it, I was searching under the wrong name. Thanks.

Expedia has a package deal with RT ticket from my hometown in the east coast to EZE connecting in Chicago on United over Memorial Day weekend (leaving on THUR 5/26 and returning on MON 5/30).

The AA trip is a bit under $700 with taxes, and you can pick your own apartment. See my other post. You can also stay up to 10 days. 1 long weekend is NOT enough time in BA.

Expedia has a package deal with RT ticket from my hometown in the east coast to EZE connecting in Chicago on United over Memorial Day weekend (leaving on THUR 5/26 and returning on MON 5/30). The package costs about $800 including 3 nights stay at Hyde Park Hotel, $830 at Dazzler Hotel, $840 at Wilton Hotel, or $860 at Rochester Hotel, tax included. There are few other hotel package choices for under $900. The initial prices when you put in the travel dates are about $80 higher. But when continue with the booking process the prices go down to the prices I mentioned.

This deal is available to other dates around that timeframe too.

I have two other trips scheduled between now and Memorial Day Weekend already, otherwise I would seriously consider this offer. I hate to waste a long weekend just sticking around at home.

United has a number of these sales around the country. Sometimes web sites like Travelocity.com will show them, sometimes they won't. If you really want to go, I'd sign up for the United email list. Their weekend sales are usually good for a 3-10 day stay. For a short visit, they're not a bad deal.

Here's a cut and paste text:
