    The EZE airport is open for Argentine's. You just need to quarantine for about a week, plus several crp or cprs. The difficulty is finding a ticket, but if she flies alone, it will be easier.

    Fear of meeting

    I don't know about social life in BA these days, but I was in Disneyland yesterday and it was packed. They save 50% capacity but I rubbed elbows with people everywhere, and at fireworks time, there was not an empty inch anywhere. Masks? Every now and then saw one. Viva la joda en California!

    American Airlines cancelled my flight and booked me 18 days later. What to do?

    I flew from Ezeiza to Santa Cruz in early May and returned three weeks later. If you are not Argentine but American you will need a visa but that can be purchased on arrival. Borders may be closed coming in to Argentina but are they closed going out via land?

    Cholita: in your case, it may be easier to travel to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia and board a Boliviana de Aviacion to Miami. Also, have you contacted AA via whatsapp? They were more efficient responding via this system than their phones in the USA. Their whatsapp is +5491128897587. Good...

    American Airlines cancelled my flight and booked me 18 days later. What to do?

    After my flight was cancelled, I went every day to the AA office on Avda. Santa Fe until I got rebooked and was able to depart from Argentina a week ago. You might want to do the same, but get an appointment first. Have your bags ready too, because they may give you a 24 hour notice.

    For expats with USD, any reason to get OSDE or other health insurance instead of just paying cash always?

    I totally agree with all you have written, especially the bed side manners of doctors here vs. the USA's plus access to them. If you live here permanently, buy the insurance but if you have insurance in the States, and live here part time, is having an extra local insurance worth it? Now we...

    President Sanchez of Spain Visits Bs. As.

    Your question should be inmaterial. Unfortunately, the arrogance and racism shown by Fernandez is very prevalent in Argentina's upper social classes. It's sad and says much about people's low self esteem if they have to rely on historical genetics to feel special.
