Much of Europe is much more expensive than Buenos Aires. So factor the prices of everything you'll do, before choosing.

Posts: 3Thanks for all the advice. I'll keep Costa Rica in mind if I can't get the miles for Argentina. It's just that those pictures from the BA websites are luring me in. I also get the impression BA would be more newb friendly.
I'm also considering doing a trip to Europe instead of BA. I'm just more interested in traveling there for non-mongering activities. I haven't decided yet, and I'm flexible on my travel schedule. Argentina just seems to be the best in terms of bang for the buck and convenience.

You can find flights to EZE from the US for about the same price if you look around a bit.
$861 from NYC.
$695 from MIA.
$973 from LAX.

My first adventure was to BA. Don't get me wrong--I was awesome. Not to rain on your BA parade, but a newbie with a free ticket to Central America might do better just going to San Jose. Depends on your preferences, but I'd rather spend the extra $$$ it would take me to get to BA from Central America on a room at Zona Blue and get my $20 sessions.

Posts: 1309Yep, good advice, as reward tickets are only going to be getting more difficult with the belt tightening going on. If UA and CO merge, then they might even reduce flights to EZE, and drive prices up even more, and really reduce the amount of reward seats available.

Posts: 3I would have done that but I've tapped that source out a long time ago=) I may just buy some miles to reach 50k, seems to be the cheaper route. Time to brush up on my non-existent Spanish.

Posts: 1309Most fights from Central America will cost more than flying from the US. A trip within South America might work out, so a cheaper trip to Colombia or Peru might work.
You might apply for a UA credit card and just get the extra miles you need for the trip from the USA.

Posts: 3Cheapest flight from Central America?
I'm planning a trip to BA for my first monger adventure. I qualify for a free trip to Central America with my UA miles. I was wondering what would be the best way to go from Central America to BA? Anyone have any advice on that?
Alternatively I can get a free trip with miles left over to any US city, then grab a flight to BA from there. I was thinking Miami or somewhere in Florida would make the most sense?
