Ok, I'll respond to my own message :) I called, and since I'm 25, and
don't turn 26 till after the trip I qualify :)
The flight I reserved is 2/1->2/8 JFK->BA connecting through Rio. Since
it's a weekend flight so it was $50 more, plus the tax = $949. If anyone
else wants to get this fair, call the number above ASAP, there are only
two seats left on the plane from Rio to BA on 2/1.
They said flights on 1/31 and 2/2 are sold out.
I've got a one week reservation on this flight before I have to give them
some money, so if anyone has anything better PLEASE let me know, but at
this point it looks like this is the flight I'll be on.
