I guess that what is particularly irksome as a visitor is the double-whammy: you have to pay non-res fares and you have to pay them at the artificially-inflated official rate of exchange. That said, personally, I got my intra-Argentina tickets in the LAN "cybermonday" sale last December which brought them back more or less to what they would have been for a resident, so I am a happy bunny.
So you happily state you got a price more or less what a resident would pay.
Good for you I say and have a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. With the money you saved you can buy some decent Malbec to take home with you.
