    Very nice indeed to see a good deal to IGU from places other than JFK and MIA. 100% miles with AA is great. What kills this deal for me is the 5-day minimum stay and no stopover at GIG or GRU. Isn’t it a bit too much to spend 5 days at IGU. On the other hand, AA fare ORD-GRU costs the same. So you can only do one thing at a time–can’t combine 2 destinations in one trip.

    @Tim – we haven’t played with this too mauch, but pretty sure you can open-jaw it. e.g., ord-gru // igu-ord and then make your own way between GRU-IGU via AA or Avios. On AA miles, intra-Brazilian redemption is 10k. Avios is only 4,500.

    Good idea. A one-way GRU-IGU is only $50 on TAM. O/J ORD-GRU//IGU-ORD costs the same as an RT ORD-GRU.
