In October, 2006, I, my brother and his wife (we are all Americans) flew Andes Airlines from Buenos Aires' Jorge Newberry Airport to Salta and back a week later. Both flights were on an MD-88, took off on time, were comfortable, had a nice snack box of food provided and were entirely satisfactory. I have a friend who lives in Salta who told me that the airline existed. He did help to confirm our reservations by walking into the Andes office in Salta. Cheaper than Aerolineas, especially because there was no surcharge because were were not Argentine nationals like Aerolineas wanted to add on. We may have been lucky, but it worked for us. I'm planning another trip to Salta this coming September, 2007, and plan to fly them again. I hope they are still in business!

I was born in Salta in 1942. This was my first trip back since leaving in 1946.
