Hi! (I tried to search, but didn't find much information, at least nothing actually up to date).

I am planning to fly to Buenos Aires for leisure at the last days of Nov to stay till half of Dec. Never been there before.
Can you recommend my any flight option that would be sensible by means of comfort, convenience and optimally cost effectivness as well?
I am based in waw, but eventually can relocate someplace else to start the journey.
Most of the fares I found so far were pretty steep (I was looking at business class fares). Being an LO/LH Sen I would probably prefer *A, but travelling in C it would not be really a necessity for me.
There is an availability of award on LH but just in F (no C available) connecting in FRA for 180 k which I could go for. But is it really worth on this route?

By the way, I heard there is often much turbulence on Buenos route, is it true? If so, it would be probably important to go for some bigger birds like 747? Would you have any recommendations for me?

Thanks!

Jay

Late November is perhaps the best time of the year weather wise. And there is no reason to expect more turbulence in the EZE area than on other parts of the world so don't let that be a concern. Can not offer help about fares.

Flying over the equator especially over the Atlantic can be quite turbulent at times, on the other hand, the flights can be nice and smooth. I can't say that 747/767/777 has been any better or worse than any other. It is also hurricane season, so there may be weather that will have to be avoided. I have found that my Pacific routings to South America have generally been a lot smoother. Weather @EZE when you actually get there - November is a very good time.

As far as LH F, I've only flown it a handful of times, and never Europe/South America, but I'd imagine it to be a great experience, esp. if you have time for the FRA F lounge.

LH F from Germany to EZE is a great flight... ^ ^ ^
