Hey all,
As a perma-tourist (no DNI), would I be able to walk into an American Airlines reservations office in BA and buy a round trip ticket to the US with Argentine pesos? I know that the fare is based in USD and calculated at the official rate. So there are clear advantages of converting USD to ARS at the blue rate, then buying the ticket in ARS cash. I would also try it myself, but I'm in the US now and cannot get a clear answer from AA over the phone since they don't have a call center that's actually in Argentina. Any experience or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
* I have attempted due diligence in searching for this in case it's been brought up before here, but haven't found anything. Apologies if I missed it somewhere and am unnecessarily starting a new thread here.
