update, the biggest unions continue to ratify that the general strike of April 6 will continue:

The various players have backed themselves into a corner, and the liklihood of the strike continuing has increased. Of course, as stated above, it could be cancelled.

The strike will mean almost everything will be shut down, including stores, larger offices, and transport.

The last time this happened, airlines like Latam and Aerolineas avoided notifying customers (only direct purchasers) until a few days before either to notify of flights scheduled for the day after the strike or to contact them to reorganize flights (chaos). Long-distance buses shut down the afternoon before, and did not start up again until later in the morning after. Some international flights landed and took off from EZE due to management pitching in, but do not count on it.

It would be wise to avoid travel to/from/within Argentina from the evening before until the morning after. Be prepared to be flexible.
