Unfortunity you don't, when you didn't check in for the flight to Argentina, the computer assumes you didn't go and cancels you, plus you broke your round trip fare since you didn't take the flight down, a lot of people buy round trips cause they are cheaper then one ways and then just don't use the one ticket. The airlines have figured this out and built into their computer this logic to cancel downline to stop this from being done (it happened in July to a friend of mine who had booked Burbank to dallas to Witchita returning after a weekend in Kansas to dallas for a week and then back to Burbank. Due to the weather in Dallas (severe thundar storms with tornado watches) and delays he decide to skip kansas and stay in dallas they pulled his back for him in dallas and then cancelled (what we though was just the kansas flights) the rest of his whole ticket. We finally had it explained to us by a friend at AA, she said she would have restored his Dallas to burbank but it could cost her, her job for fraud and we didn't want that to happend to her so he ended up buying a one way fare on UsAirways via Phoenix).
