Aerolineas Argentinas – Best Way to Book Flights

Unlike Chile, Argentina has only one airline, Aerolineas Argentinas. While they are normally punctual and have good flight options, Aerolineas is known for changing flight times. If one of their changes complicates your travel, you’ll may wish you had booked all your flights with a travel agent.

Imagine if Aerolineas makes changes to your flight in the middle of your trip. If you didn’t use an agent, you’ll be spending valuable vacation time trying to fix it. If you call Aerolineas Argentinas, they will kindly direct you over and over again to their super unintelligent AI Bot. A good travel agent replies right away with a solution.

A perfect example is Aerolineas’ recent change to their flight schedule between Buenos Aires and Rio Gallegos, which affected many of our client’s reservations. Those original domestic flights were comfortable for anglers as they could arrive at the lodge the same day they landed in country and fly home the same day they checked out -with no long layovers. Aerolineas’ new flights now land and depart Rio Gallegos around 2am requiring anglers to change their flights and get hotels on the front and back end of their trip.

Those who used our recommended travel agent quickly and painlessly received new flight and hotel reservations.  Our clients who booked directly with the Aerolineas Argentinas or through an online travel site, had to make time consuming changes by themselves online.

Travel agents today receive little to no commission for booking flights and most charge a ticketing fee to stay in business. Not surprisingly, their clients are happy to pay it. The California based travel agent we recommend specializes in Argentina and Chile and we’ve been working with her for 25 years. When our clients engage her, we send her the recommended domestic flights needed and she sends our clients the international flights with the best connections and cheapest fares available that day. There is no second guessing or need to keep looking.  The client pays a little more than if they booked online, but they’ve bought themselves peace of mind.  That’s the value of a good travel agent.

When Fly Fishing Patagonia clients use our agent, the only benefits we receive is efficiency and knowing our clients will be well taken care of.  If you are fly with Aerolineas Argentinas and don’t want to use our agent, we recommending finding a responsive travel agent who is used to working with South American Airlines.
