Some more info would be useful. How did you book it? Is it a resident fare? Are you foreign with no Argentine connections whatsoever?

Should also be said that resident fares aren't always available especially the closer you get to departure nor are they that much cheaper considering the restrictions they come with and the vastly reduced miles earning attached to them.
