For foreigners, it's been a hassle to fly in Argentina forever. Rules have prevented foreigners from buying the cheapest tickets, and competition has been limited by the government. But that is now all changing.

Has anyone attempted to buy one of the new ultra-cheap airfares?
If the experience in Chile is any indication, this new competition will be both good and bad. Fares will definitely get much cheaper. But the service will also get worse. Is the Argentine government regulating "pitch"? It's become almost impossible to fly within Chile without being shoehorned into the smallest space possible (fares are too low to support any other seating configuration).
Domestic tourism will also likely be dramatically changed. In Chile, far-flung places like Punta Arenas are now less than $100 roundtrip from Santiago. Overcrowding in places like Torres del Paine is now a real problem as infrastructure, accommodations and transport haven't kept up with demand. And that's Chile, where things are pretty well organized. It will be interesting to see what happens in Argentina. I'd expect crowds.
