United Joins EasyUp Fare Revolution With New First Class Fares Slashed to South America

Fares start at $3,131 to Brazil, with built-in fare upgrades for $400; while American had some free upgrades to Argentina and Brazil—and even for less than Business Class to Chile.

There’s not much choice to South America when it comes to flying First Class from the U.S.; only American and United have a bonafide First Class cabin, the rest only offer Business Class—and not all of them offer a flat-bed.
