If it's an AR flight, please allow some extra time for IROPs. You wouldn't want to miss the boat (or plane) to Antarctica.

Note that the credit card transfer seems to require paying in the airport with your credit card for a car service, not grabbing a random taxi at the curb and hoping that the driver is willing to use the meter.

I pretty much plan to get to AEP as quickly as possible from EZE, so that I can try to get on the 11:15 flight if they'll let me. I'd hope that at least one of the flights will be operating properly.

Thanks. Reminds me of India :)

The issue is how early you're scheduled to arrive at USH before the departure of your tour group boat/plane. What happens if your flight from EAP to USH is cancelled or badly delayed?

It's the day before. I can't get there earlier. At some point you just have to trust that things will happen the way they should. There will also be a substantial trip insurance policy.

Gol does not operate domestic Argentina flights.

Arrive at AEP 1 hr before flight - enough time?
 

I'm stopping overnight here on my way to Patagonia and will only have a couple hours in the morning to tour the city. Thus, I don't want to arrive too early for my 13:40 flight to FTE (on Aerolineas, no status).

Am I cutting it if I plan to arrive at AEP 1 hour before departure? (No carry-on to check in, just a large backpack.)

Be prepared for this: Enforcement may vary.

MAXIMUM WEIGHT

Domestic flights in Argentina, economy class: 1 Piece of 5 kg (11 lbs).
Domestic flights in Argentina, Club Economy class: 1 Piece of 10 kg (22 lbs).

Yes, as stated above, the rules are "tough" but enforcement is a coin-toss.......

Thanks for the heads up. Reading the other threads, it sounds like I should play my luck. I know I can always check in the bag for free, but I'd rather not. I will do online check in and try to pass security with my 45 liter bag. Then, if they force me to check it in, can I gate check it or will they hassle me further?

Also, how early should I arrive at AEP if I'm preparing to do what I describe above?

If you are going to roll the dice with the bag issue, I suggest you arrive at AEP at least 2 hours prior to your flight.

You COULD be fine.

I arrived at EZE on the same AA flight from MIA last month and it was 2 hours late.

Often it's on time.

Anything can happen!

It's all a moot point now. My cruise got cancelled and I'm now rebooked for late December--getting the flights for that date on points required me to spend a night in BsAs before continuing on to USH. So my MIA-EZE flight can be as late as it wants!

My turn! Just had the inevitable changes from the Argentine Airlines where they basically make connecting directly from EZE-USH infeasible.

So, here's my story:
On the way to Antarctica, my EZE-USH flight is now a 1-stop EZE-FTE-USH. Seems to be a 1-stop, I hope it's the same plane. Arrive 4:05 PM, the cruise ship departs the next afternoon so should be OK.

On the way back, things are more worrisome. This is Friday, January 6th. I now fly USH-AEP, hopefully arriving at 4:50 PM, and the EZE-ATL flight on Delta leaves at 9:15. From what I've read, I believe this change of airports is doable (I have travel insurance for what that's worth) even with checked bags if things are on time, but welcome any advice.

If on time it's doable but not for the faint hearted especially as the roads at that time on a Friday evening will be getting congested. If you have the option of getting an earlier flight I'd certainly take it, even more so if you're travelling on separate tickets.

Thanks. No real options as the ship doesn't get back till the late morning...the tickets are not separate, all on one itinerary, booked through Delta, though 2 of 3 are revenue...just have to hope for the best.
