Flights within Argentina
 

Hi .... thanks for everyone's responses concerning the Grand Boulevard hotel. We're not going to stay there after all.<BR><BR>I'm wondering what experiences people have had booking flights once they arrived in Argentina. The Travel agent (An Argentina specialist) I booked my flight from in New York said that I definitely should book my flights once I get down there -- she said that a flight to Iguazu Falls should cost around $40-$50 roundtrip. I thought this sounded too good to be true, and a travel agent in Buenos Aires quoted me a fare of around $175 roundtrip. What have other people paid for flights?<BR><BR>The NY travel agent still insists she is right.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Olivia

try this site:<BR>http://www.aerolineas.com.ar/<BR><BR>The rate I found was $449pesos rt. ....seems a bit high to me...maybe there are other airlines..

i'm being told that if you are not an argentinean citizen, you have to book the unrestricted fair, which is about 40% higher :(

I just returned from Argentina with my boyfriend and we had to fly to Mar del Plata using Aerolineas Argentinas. Since I'm argentinian, I did pay a much lower rate than my boyfriend who is not. His ticket cost almost double than mine...<BR>Still, in dollars, the cost of the tickets was ridiculously cheap so well..no complaints..although they never even checked my boyfriend's nationality. Maybe because he has a spanish sounding name I guess..

Just back from Argentina and it's true - foreigners pay more than locals, about 50% more in my experience.<BR><BR>One way flight Mendoza-BA cost me US$80 and one way flight BA-Cordoba cost me US$65, both with AA

I have been told that foreigners can buy tickets at the "Argentinean rate" in Arg or through an Arg. travel agent, but they might check your passport/identification at the airport and then you will have to pay a higher price and who knows what other penalties. Is it worth the risk?

I HAVE BEEN QUOTED PACKAGE PRICES OF AROUND $200, INC AIR, HOTEL FOR 2 NIGHTS, BREAKFAST AND DINNER AT HOTEL, AND A TOUR OF THE FALLS. DO YOU THIN KI CAN FIND CHEAPER IF I BUY A PACKAGE WHEN I GET TO ARGENTINA?
