Yeap, everybody get hit by the 20% for the moment....the day you pay in cash or by credit card to an airline or travel agent. Only way not to pay it, buying in USD online...but than, you lose the benefeit of the blue rate. For info, the 20% is on the fare and the fees....not on the...

Most if not all...some will just ask you to walk in either a bank/banelco/pagofacile to deposit the money. Copa will only issue tickets originating around here...and AA seems to have implement the same...we'll see for other airlines...

I guess you'll have to go back to town first...so San Martin train to town first...than as El Cipayo said, they may have a but to there from Plaza Italia, so stopping in Palermo station.

If you want the American system, you also have Lincoln...they have a top-reputation. St Andres has a great reputation, but it's the British curriculum...well...for me, way better than the American...I know, I'm not going to make friends here... There is also St George and St Hilda. Sorry...

HSBC HK, but you need to go there....cheap, efficient, forget about a visa/mastercard... Lloyd's TSB or Standard Bank, Isle of Man, they have the lowest minimum level that you need to keep on your account. Bear in mind, no offshore account will be dirt cheap. USD/AUD...well, AUD has been...

Hi Walter.... I'm fine with the Trapiche Varietals at 25 pesos per bottle.... But I'm even more happy with the DV Catena Cabernet-Malbec that I found at 78 per bottle....or the Altimus 2008 at 150 pesos....that's a good deal! The great news about Argentinian wine...you often end up paying the...

Been advised by an airline employee....if your ticket has been issued...you should be safe....but make sure you do not need to do any change on it which would involve a payment...could get messy than...

Small point....we arrived in BA end of July last year....for months...these forums were full of scary stories....and for the last few months...close to none have been reported in here. Don't make me say BA is safer...it's just a comment...not on the security....but on the fact that it seems to...

Than a simple word comes to mind...inflation...and we all know there is no inflation here...

Was able to issue a ticket at AA today....I didn't ask twice when they quoted the price....got the cash in pesos and paid....one down without the extra tax! Now it's not the same issue for all airlines. JURCA which is the Argentinian Airline Association is challenging AFIP saying they precisely...

Just got a confirmation...if you pay in cash in BA...it's 20% more....but only on the base fare, not on the taxes. Meaning your ticket will be anything between 10 to 17% more expensive from today. It may be still a good deal with the blue rate...but hey, it's still one more thing to hit the...

So let put it simply....few posts a commenting on flights originating in Argentina. If you do buy your flight in Argentina, but originating in Montevideo, do the 20% apply for cash payment?

Airlines cannot issue tickets today. Seems there is a meeting end of the day to know what is happening...hopefully I won't regret not to have issued yesterday...

Thanks a lot, having a look at their website...this is really what I was looking for....big thanks!

I have a friend of mine coming to visit us with a gluten allergy. Does anyone know any restaurant who do pizzas and empenadas gluten free in the Ciudad. Thanks.

Went to the usual airline desk this morning where I issue many tickets...after reading the start of the thread. As a non-resident...paying in cash, there seems to have no change...for the moment. It's the payment in credit card which has some issues. I'm not going to waste too much time...

There is a way through offshore longterm saving plans available for expats by life insurance companies. It does exist...slight...huge problem...you have to commit to transfer money for a certain time..anything between few months to 2 years...and then who knows what is happening with AFIP...

Malargue...way cheaper and not that far away...

Bad idea, and that's valid for anywhere in the world...the only techincal excpetion is going in with one passport...getting it stolen, than you have to get a new passport, or travel document...and walk nicely first to immigration to solve out the mess....

Could you send me a pm....we are interested by Villa Devoto, but don't know if your place fit our needs. I'm a single Dad with two kids, 10 and 12. Thanks.
