But I don't see how TK could do that seeing as my final destination is not Argentina. My layover is about 3 hours. Timatic shows a transit without visa time of 12 hours:

"Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 12 hours."

Which is confusing because Americans aren't required to have a visa to enter Argentina in the first place. But we are required to pay. And I don't want to pay, so assuming I'm in this TWOV category, I won't have to pay.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I suppose I could call TK but they're useless.
