experience with clickhotels.com?
Anyone have experience with clickhotels.com? They had a particularly good rate for a hotel I am considering in Bariloche, as well as a lower rate on airfare between BA and Bariloche ($394 v. 525 round trip). Thank you.

Never heard of them.... have you checked for reviews on Trip Advisor...? Also, is this a US based booking service... or it is a regional (Latam) operation...?

I found them through the aerolingeas argentina airline website if one looks for hotels and packages through the airline. They appear to be south/latin american-based from the website. The reduced airfare (cited in US dollars on an English language clickhotels.com page so presumably not the resident airfare) for AEP=BRC was on LAN.

Well, if you pay with your credit card you will be covered by your bank, so you will be covered on that side.

clickhotels saved me money
Just a quick report that we had no trouble with the reservations for LAN flights we booked through clickhotels.com at a significant savings over LAN website prices as well as all the options listed at Kayak (we paid $385 rather than $526 for roundtrip to Bariloche). Of course, the flights were both delayed, but I'm told that's typical for LAN and that Aerolineas Argentinas is even worse.

Im surprised to read that you were told that LAN is normally delayed... Aerolineas yes, but LAN is know for its on-time service. What was announced as the reason for your delays..??
Thanks again for reporting back !! ^
