Salta to Iguassu Direct by Air.
 
Hello.

Has anyone flown direct from Salta to Iguassu by air? Most of the flights I've seen connect through Buenos Aires with the exception of those on Andes Air which aren't showing for the dates I need in November. Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Ross :-)

We flew Aerolineas Argentina direct in March ........... they had service 5 days a week.

I just plugged a date into the AA booking site and it looks like in November the direct flight is 4 days a week - Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Monday (but don't take my word for it!)

Thanks for responding, Elizabeth.

I checked out the direct flights on AA and they want $700US round-trip to do this route. Have to pass.

Might be worth signing up for a flight watcher to see if the price goes down.

It would have to go down by about $500US!!! :-)

We paid a lot less than $700. You can get lower fares if you put that flight into your international itinerary.

Yes, I know. I'm using frequent flyer miles on United from NY to BA, and miles on LAN from BA to Salta. Didn't have to purchase any flights.

Our one way flight was about $150 in March of this year...maybe as low as it goes?

That's a HUGE difference in price!!! Lucky you!!! :-)
