Not sure where the term βdeep South Americaβ originated, but to my mind it meant anywhere south of Lima or Recife.
Points therein were typically operated with overnight services in both directions, maximizing connecting possibilities at North American gateways. One case I can recall, Pan Amβs daylight northbound Buenos Aires-JFK flight never did as well as its southbound counterpart, particularly in premium cabins.

There are extra contract provisions for flying anywhere south of the equator, like Lima. At one time we flew to South American cities on the north end of the continent, which could be serviced with daytime schedules, and large cities farther south that had double all-nighters. There wasn't anything in between. Nowadays we fly on and off to Brasilia, Manaus, Recife and maybe a few others that really aren't that deep and have only one all-nighter leg.

I still think the clods in charge of Boeing could have done more to keep the 757/767 lines going, despite the relative commercial failure of the 757-300 and 767-400. Why concede a market sector to your competitor in a duopoly, where the competitor stands to pick up loose chips? Separately, a query re distance/description. Where does "Deep South America" begin in US airline terminology? Loosely the equivalent of a transcon, e.g. ,NYC-California or closer/farther from MIA?
