Keep in mind that we are talking about flights from europe to argentina , the other way around is another topic and yes i do agree with you forex can be a headache for people there

i was explaining covid + high demand + lower supply and even less competition than before made situation worse , so now for instance skyteam flights from europe to argentina cant be found for less than 700$
