Flying – several options

by vtveen

Argentina is a big country and the distances between the main tourist sights are huge. The most convenient and fast way of travelling is by airplane. Most of the domestic flights within Argentina are operated by Aerolineas Argentinas /Austral and since a couple of years LAN Argentina and Andes Líneas Aéreas.Aerolineas had 'on again off again labour problems'. LAN is a very good alternative for flying in Argentina. Andes has its main destinations in the north and north west (although also flying to Puerto Madryn).Both Aerolineas and LAN have 'airpasses'. Before booking your tickets you really should check these websites !!LAN has a 'South America Airpass' for travellers reaching South America with LAN or an other OneWorld airline: http://www.lan.com/en_ue/promociones/data/europa/todo_europa/saairpass.htmlThere is also a One World South American Air Pass, sometimes with better deals than...

Travel Agent in Argentina- Monforte

by GentleSpirit

Most of the time you can find a pretty good fare getting to Argentina, however because of a confusing two-tiered pricing system on domestic air, you can end up paying substantially more if you book independently. I took the recommendation of my doctor and booked with a small agency in Buenos Aires. They arranged all my air travel inside the country, hotels and tours. I was very satisfied with their services. They were very flexible. My first trip to Argentina, for example, included several stops a bit different from the normal itinerary. Everything worked out great.Trips in 2005 and 2006

Air Service

by GentleSpirit

Because of the very large distances involved, flying is often the only realistic option due to the time involved of taking the bus.Aeroparque Jorge Newberry (AEP) is located in the Palermo neighborhood, not far from downtown Buenos Aires, so it isn't a very expensive cab ride. At the time of my last visit it was the center of domestic air travel in the country. Since 2010 it also has flights to neighboring countries (Brazil, Chile and Paraguay)Because of limited air connections between Argentine cities, you will find that you might have to back track, connecting in Buenos Aires to your next destination. Consult your travel agent This will add time and expense to your travel, so be careful in your planning.If you are getting an early flight (especially on a Monday) make sure you come to the airport early because it will be mobbed and you will surely be wondering how on earth you are going...

Carry On Luggage on domestic flights

by GentleSpirit

The carry on limit for domestic flights is 5 kg. This is strictly enforced. Avoid the embarrassment of being found overweight and having to stuff a bunch of your things into your checked luggage in front of everyone else. Before getting in line you are usually able to weigh your bags.

Chalten Travel Turismo

by spidermiss

Chalten Travel provides transportation to various attractions in Patagonia. In January 2010, I travelled with them to El Chalten and in February 2011, I travelled with them when I travelled up the Ruta 40 from Calafate to Bariloche.There is all year transportation (reduced service off season) from El Calafate to El Chalten. It cost me around roughly 130 ARP for a return.I did the Ruta 40 in February 2011. Between November and April, you can travel up the Ruta 40 from either El Calafate or El Chalten to Perito Moreno Town on odd number days (ie. 7th February 2011) and from Perito Moreno Town to Bariloche on even number days (ie. 8th February 2011). Each leg of the journey takes an average on 12-14 hours a day and I strongly recommend stopping in Perito Moreno Town or Los Antiguos overnight to break up the journey. Please note the buses only offer a commun service which usually doesn't...

Over the mountains

by kyoub

Flying on DAP Airlines is like flying in your own private plane.There were only 4 other passengers and the 2 pilots aboard when we left El Calafate.It was a beautiful day and a smooth ride across the mountains to Chile. I would highly recommend this airline to anyone unless you are afraid of riding in small planes.There is a weight limit on luggage allowed so take that into consideration also.Dap has offices in most southern towns of Argentina and Chile

Buses to Argentina from Brasil

by hmoitta

If you are in Brasil you can get a bus from Rio, Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Florianopolis or Porto Alegre to Buenos Aires or other cities but it´s better to stop on the way, because it´s a long run, but it's the cheapeast way to get there ( see bus company website below ).

Via Bariloche

by spidermiss

I used the company, Via Bariloche, to travel around on my last trip (February 2011) to Esquel and to Buenos Aires. When booking your ticket, you usually get your seat allocated.It cost me 69 ARP (One way) from Bariloche to Esquel for when I visited Trevelin. The journey took 4.5 hours and stops at different places down the Ruta 40 including El Bolsen. This was a Semi-Cama seat service where you get more leg room in your seats compared to a commun service. You get a snack served and there is free coffee (although sweetened) and water available on board. When I returned to Buenos Aires for the final leg of my trip, I booked a ticket for the Cama Ejectivo service where the seats lay out like a bed and 50% more space than a semi-cama seat. The service also included drinks and meals and in house entertainment. I paid 540 ARP (One way) from Bariloche to Buenos Aires and the journey took me...

(New) Reciprocity fee

by vtveen

Starting end of December 2009 tourists, whose home nation charges Argentineans a fee to obtain a visa fee to enter their country, will be charged with a 'reciprocity fee'. They will have to pay the same amount as Argentineans has to pay. For example USA visitors will have to pay about 140US dollars to get into Argentina.The fee is only collected when visitors enter Argentina at Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) or Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP).The countries affected by the new 'reciprocity fee' are Australia, United States of America and Canada.
