Does anyone know the flight time from LA to Chicago? From these times it looks like 6 hours, but from both the AA and UA sites they list times ranging around 4 hours. Computer error or something else?

Nope, Neobie, geography error. There is a two hour time zone difference between LAX and ORD. LAX is PDT and ORD iS CDT, which are 2 hours apart.

For those of you wanting to know how teams went on United to Buenos Aires, there is only one way they could have done it:
LAX IAD(Washington Dulles) UA862 1254 2050, then a very tight connection to
IAD EZE UA847 2145 0920+1
The comparable AA flights already stated by others have a slightly more comfortable connection in O'Hare:
LAX ORD AA2074 1300 1905
ORD EZE AA961 2010 0915+1 (Note: if this left at 852pm it was 42 minutes late and this could make it arrive after the United flight into Buenos Aires)
It should be noted that there was another comparable AA flight conncection through Miami in the right time frame, so it is likely that a third group of AR13 teams could have gone that way and arrived first:
LAX MIA AA252 1355 2142 (Note the ample connect time)
MIA EZE AA943 2320 0855
This would demonstrate the common Amazing Race trick of having teams compete hard to get on the first plane that leaves, which can turn out to be the last that arrives after a longer flight path or connection.
And there is also a fourth flight connection on AA through DFW:
LAX DFW AA2448 1325 1829 (Note: this is a modearte connection compared to the others)
DFW EZE AA997 1935 0805
The best connection of all is a 1320 AA nonstop from LAX to Lima, Peru, connecting to an LAN flight but the arrival into EZE is quite a bit earlier at 0740 and I doubt that American reservations agents would have booked this with 3 AA alternatives plus one UA available.
