My husband is a little afraid to fly the in-country airlines (he an airline person himself). The thought of taking a 16-hour bus ride each way turns me off to the trip to the falls, so I'll have to be very persuasive. Please tell me about your experiences on the local airlines. 1 3/4 hours on a plane vs. 16 hours on a bus sounds like the way to go to me, although I understand the air are very expensive as well.

Leburta,
Lan, to and from Iguazzu Falls (or other areas) has a good safety record and seems, to me, to be a first class airline. Not inexpensive, though. For your short visit, if you decide to include the Falls (of which I am still in awe) the cost of the flight is worth it. If it seems too expensive, perhaps a non-flying side-trip would suit your schedule better.
Aerolineas Argenginas is certainly improving their reliability stats and some customer service - I do not know much about their safety record - but I would definitely fly with them if Lan were not available for the route or schedule I sought.
Such wonderful choices you have to make....Envious, ~Marnie

If you Google 'Fear of Flying' you will find several possible aides for more comfortaable flying experiences. If your wife has any experience with breathing exercises (Yoga, Lamaze) they are incredibly helpful in such situations.
And BsAs is so worth the effort. Best, ~Marnie

My husband is not afraid of flying. He works for an airlines, and flies a lot. His fear is of South American airllnes and the aviation administrations in countries that he suspects allows them to fly no matter the inclement weather. However, if LAN has the safety record people say it has, this may not be an issue. He seems to be coming around. Keep your collective fingers crossed!
