    LATAM and Aerolineas Offer Air Tickets Avoiding The 30% Tax Surcharge

    This way of operating requires the buyer to pay in USD (the currency in which the ticket is issued) with cash or Debit card. This indirectly means, the buyer has USD/will get USD from the market, which is expensive as well. This is in my humble understanding. Eager to know more though.

    Sending Money Back To India

    I think this would be specific to Argentina as otherwise one can send USD to India and the same will be remitted to an NRE/NRO account in India. I was kind of hoping if there is a way to transfer USD from Argentina to India via bank. Will keep on searching.
