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

    No way that’s going to happen here. Leaving aside that it happens very rarely in general, it’s also the case that all airlines here are swamped with people looking to rebook. The final destination is not really the issue. There is no real problem with domestic flights, you’ll get a connection...

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

    I imagine can be fixed. How did you book your original ticket?

    Israel summons Argentina's ambassador over anti-Israel UNHRC vote

    Rarely has being an enemy to Jews been bad in any way. Our era is a bit better than most of the preceding ones, but a lot of the old hatreds still hold. To single out Israel for a resolution like this is morally bankrupt. Nobody disputes that a civilian death - every civilian death - is a...

    Israel summons Argentina's ambassador over anti-Israel UNHRC vote

    Shameful company for a shameful vote.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    If at a good price, little reason not to buy a ticket. Some flights will certainly leave, and once you have an issued ticket the airline will put you on any flight with room in economy class, whatever the price would have been.

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    As I wrote, to leave the US you do not need a passport at all. There is no passport control departing the US. As a practical matter, of course, to fly from the US to any intl. destination you do need a passport, but that is because of the receiving country. The airline will want to see your...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    I’m not sure what any of this even means. You do not go through passport control when exiting the US. You don’t “leave the US” on any passport. If you’re driving to Canada or Mexico, you present your papers at that country’s port of entry, not to US authorities. And if you are a Canadian or...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    From what I know this sounds scarier than it is, true as it may be. Comparisons to the Wild West notwithstanding, the border is crossed by people and “stuff” (mind-altering and otherwise) on a daily basis. The problem is that without having entered legally there’s no way you’re flying out of...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    No. No land borders are operational for regular people, and Uruguay isn’t taking anyone either. Depending on when you want to travel I might be able to help, DM me. There is a long, easy-to-cross border with Bolivia, problem is that you likely won’t be able to fly out from there if you didn’t...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    I’m not sure you even have that option. It’s sold out on most flights. If anything urgent, need to resort to getting out of BsAs on any flight possible, say to Paraguay (they still have some flights out to there) or Chile (harder but doable). From there you’ll get out one way or another...

    Reduced flight schedules and current entry / exit requirements

    The logic is pretty simple here, actually. It’s just the logic of thieves. Cheapest fares available on Aerolineas, even with empty planes, is almost 2500 to Miami return. Most people actually paying more, because their planes are anything but empty - basically booked solid. These prices...

    AA still selling seats on direct flights to JFK starting early June. I really hope that doesn’t get scrapped as it has until now.

    They are offering the tests at both Ezeiza and Aeroparque. 6000 pesos and 2h turnaround for PCR. 4000 pesos and 15-30 min for antigen (good for US).

    US Transit visa C1 interview? (Bs Aires)

    I assume you know all the ins and outs of flying to Canada at this time, aside from the visa requirements. Firstly, your travel needs to be deemed essential, or you need to be the relative of a Canadian citizen. Depending on whether that relative is considered immediate or not, you may well need...

    Anybody trying to fly out to get vaccinated and then return?

    I’ve arranged travel for several clients who went for the express purpose of vaccination. If you’re related to an Argentine you can fly no problem even if not a PR*. (With one important caveat - see below). If you’re a PR you can fly, case closed. *The only issue with traveling as a relative...
