Buying A Plane Ticket In Cash (Blue Pesos) To Save Money?

[ajl1239]

Sorry, in other words, is the price I see online for purchase with a credit card from a given Web site inclusive OR exclusive of the 20% Cristina tax?

yes sir ! . Tax is paid for all travel originating in Argentina by air and by sea

and Bus

 

[ajl1239]

Haha Yup, yup. But my question is -- when I go to Kayak, Vayama, American Airlines, whatever web site -- does that final total I would pay with a credit card online include OR exclude the 20% tax?

Thanks very much!!

BTW. Prices on Despegar.com.ar do NOT include the 20% tax

 

[ajl1239]

Ok, cheers and thanks, but what about the prices on Kayak, American.com, etc.?

Or do all Web sites exclude the tax and it is ONLY paid at the airport?

 

[glasgowjohn]

most argentine sites include the tax in the prices , not sure about the rest

Is there a 20% tax if I'm buying a ticket with Aerolineas originating in the US (return to BA)?

Forgot where I read where the best places in town to buy "black rate" pesos. Thanks for showing me where to find the information.

My wife asked a quotation to an old fashion travel agency and it was 30% off than the websites. Plus you pay at the official rate. I have to buy tickets to Korea for 4, so, it is a budget...

Asatel prices is all inclusive.

Despegar is fake, later they add the tax and all the stuff.

I suggest you contact travel agencies. The Chinese and Korean community have the cheapest travel agencies.
