To avoid this, you don't have to have any contact with staff at the check-in counter, this means not checking-in baggage and doing the online check-in at LAN.com. When going through security and when boarding they will not ask you to show proof of residence or anything like that.
I own property in Buenos Aires and hence have a DNI number. Is this enough to make me eligible for the lower fares?
