There are a bunch of “special” flights.
They’re not really calling them “repatriation” flights anymore, possibly because -
- most people that wished to be repatriated have long done so;
- perhaps not coincidentally, at least as far as the US is concerned, these flights are no longer solely for US citizens and residents.
Argentines with visas are free to buy tickets as well.
Aerolineas and Eastern fly most Fridays to Miami but their flights are basically fully booked for the coming weeks.
Other Aerolineas flights:
- JFK weekly starting next Thursday;
- SP Brazil every Monday (from where you can connect to LATAM or AA to Miami, or United to Newark or Houston - but only if you are a US citizen or LPR)
- Santiago most Fridays, from there you can connect to LATAM or AA to Miami.
If “regular” flights don’t start in September, which is by no means out of the question, this “special flight” regime will likely be extended if not expanded.
